This reminds me of my report at
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2021-03/msg00956.html

Meanwhile the proposed pciback change has gone in upstream:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/xen/xen-pciback?id=c81d3d24602540f65256f98831d0a25599ea6b87

I wasn't, however, aware that this may have been an issue going
from 4.14.1 to 4.15.0, i.e. something that was presumably (as
George also has just said) a regression in the tools. Or else I
probably wouldn't have suggested taking care of this in Linux.
Nevertheless you may want to give that change a try.
