The bug asks for this to be included in all releases, Why restrict this to 
Xenial and Bionic only. Also the patch is upstream

     vmxnet3: Remove buf_info from device accessible structures

so this should be a cherry pick / backport submission. Finally the cover email 
and the patch were sent as individual emails and not as reply to the cover email 
which makes it had to keep things together.
