In theory, it can solve the problem, let me test it.

But then again, below patch will also disable the fault reporting come from the
expected devices which are used in the kdump kernel. In fact, my patches have been
merged into our interval version more than 2 months, no bug have been found yet.

However, my patches do not support the case that the hardware does not support the
"STE bypass" feature, I think your patch can also resolve it.
