I applied the following:

drivers-scsi-storvsc-Fix-a-bug-in-handling-ring-buffer-failures-that-may-result-in-I-O-freeze.patch
V2-1-3-Drivers-hv-hv_balloon-Make-adjustments-in-computing-the-floor.patch
V2-2-3-Drivers-hv-hv_balloon-Fix-a-locking-bug-in-the-balloon-driver.patch
V2-3-3-Drivers-hv-hv_balloon-Don-t-post-pressure-status-from-interrupt-context.patch

Initially things looked OK but now I'm starting to see the following
which is rather worrying:

Are these Hyper-V related?
