It may take a few days, but I'll let you know if it worked (or for how long, if not). I was running 3.18.7 + swiotlb=131072 + 2 external drives plugged-in and mounted for about 18 hours straight. The error didn't show up. Well, I would run it a little longer, but I had to restart X and while doing so, the system crashed for an unknown reason. Anyway, this seems to be quite reliable workaround - at least I can _use_ kernels newer than 3.17.8, because with that bug, popping up after a couple of hours of uptime, it was a total show stopper to me.
