Yes, it is expected for you / Nvidia to update this patch if there is no
other solution.
Please provide patch for v6.2 for lunar & vanilla kernel latest RC.
Ideally also submit it upstream, such that a solution acceptable
upstream is eventually found.
This patch will need to go through acks, and integrated into an SRU
cycles once available. Initial lunar kernel for GA has frozen weeks ago.
So this will land in SRU cycle when next possible (April/may). Thus for
a while 23.04 will have this regression.
I will separately check which rebase dropped this patch and how come
notification about it did not get communicate prior to being identified
and escalated to me just today. I do apologise about it.

Bug description:
With below commit in 5.16 upstream kernel, support for
mdev_set_iommu_device() kABI was removed from kernel as there were no
in-tree drivers making use of the kABI.
fda49d97f2c4 ("vfio: remove the unused mdev iommu hook")
This kABI is used by SRIOV based Nvidia vGPU on Ubuntu 22.04. Ampere+
(SRIOV based) Nvidia vGPU use kernel's mdev framework and use this
kABI to pin all guest memory during VM boot.
As HWE kernel (for Ubuntu 22.04) will switch to 5.19 upstream kernel,
it will not include this kABI and as a result will break SRIOV based
Nvidia vGPU. So, filing this bug to request to have a custom patch in
HWE kernel which doesn't remove the support for
mdev_set_iommu_device() kABI.
