Posted a series before going on PTO that contains a patch to add this
behavior to PVH Dom0:

https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2018-10/msg01558.html

Regardless of the clarification on the affected models the patch
shares the detection logic between PV and PVH, so it can be easily
modified afterwards to narrow the scope of the workaround if required.

Thanks, Roger.
