Christoph specifically asked me to queue these up. I presume the swiotlb
tweak is going through his DMA tree and it is therefore orthogonal to
the SCSI changes.

I do think it's important that we get these fixed up in 5.3. And given
that we're on the eve of the merge window, the time to get these changes
merged is now. I'd hate to see them miss another release...
