I see. This is not something I've done before, but I'd be willing to
give it a go.

But, I am not the author of these two patches. That's David Vrabel,
and they're from something Andrew Cooper referred to as "the
XenServer Patch queue", here:

    https://github.com/xenserver/linux-3.x.pg/blob/master/master/series#L613-L614

At the present time I don't actually know in detail what these
patches do, nor how they have been tested, etc.; I only know that
they fix the problem I was seeing.

Is it appropriate for me to be the one presenting them to
linux-kernel and the maintainers and so on?

Thanks,
Andy
