Re: the kernel patch to groovy...  My understanding is that the window for both 
5.8.y and 5.9.y are already closed since they are not LTS releases...  The 5.10 
window is still open and will be for a while as the most recent LTS -- the fix 
is already in 5.10.

The upstream 5.10 fix is very close to fitting on groovy.  The
significant difference with groovy is that vfio_iommu_type1_get_info
does not yet exist, so an identical change has to be made in
vfio_iommu_type1_ioctl instead (vfio_iommu_type1_ioctl got turned into a
switch statement that calls sub-functions by ccd59dce1a21, so code got
moved - 5.4 backport needed further changes, but you can see the same
sort of accommodation there).

I could provide a patch that does this fitting.  Or, it looks like
upstream ccd59dce1a21 + 7d6e1329652e fits cleanly on groovy.
