Will, no. It is rather patch #6 (this patch). Only the patch from #6 to #12 
were reverted to fix the issue. Also, looking at this offset of the crash,

pc : dma_direct_map_sg+0x304/0x8f0
is_swiotlb_force_bounce at /usr/src/linux-next/./include/linux/swiotlb.h:119

is_swiotlb_force_bounce() was the new function introduced in this patch here.

+static inline bool is_swiotlb_force_bounce(struct device *dev)
+{
+       return dev->dma_io_tlb_mem->force_bounce;
+}
