Is there a bugzilla or other reference URL to include here?  Should
this be marked for stable?

This doesn't sound like a root cause.  Is the issue a hardware
erratum?  Linux PCI core bug?  VFIO bug?  Device firmware bug?

The changelog suggests that the problem only affects passthrough,
which suggests some sort of kernel bug related to how passthrough is
implemented.
