Hello there,

The stable tag v5.4.289 seems to fail to boot with following trace:

sge_count (-12) is out of range. Range is:  0-256 kept showing
infinitely. It kept popping until I reset the system.

Reverting the following patch seems to fix the issue:

    xen/swiotlb: add alignment check for dma buffers

    [ Upstream commit 9f40ec84a7976d95c34e7cc070939deb103652b0 ]

    When checking a memory buffer to be consecutive in machine memory,
    the alignment needs to be checked, too. Failing to do so might result
    in DMA memory not being aligned according to its requested size,
    leading to error messages like:

      4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: enabling device (0140 -> 0142)
      4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: Ring address not aligned
      4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: Failed to initialise service qat_crypto
      4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: Resetting device qat_dev0
      4xxx: probe of 0000:2b:00.0 failed with error -14

I tried changing swiotlb grub command line arguments but that didn't
seem to help much unfortunately and the error was seen again.
