Understood, but is it possible to get a one-off/test kernel in the interim? We have cloud customer for whom this problem is causing intermittent outages.

Correct, but the problem isn't limited to that scenario. It can be recreated on any PowerVM LPAR, but hvcs is generally not used outside of PowerVC setups and as such that is where this got exposed.

This is the LTS that PowerVC uses, but as mentioned previously this issue effects all PowerVM LPARs should someone choose to use hvcs so it is desirable in any other releases that support PowerVM.
