You don't need any backmerge, SHA-1 version of vfio-v6.19-rc8 tag is the same as in Linus's tree, so the flow is:

Just pull Alex's tree, the drm-misc-next tree already has v6.19-rc6, so all they will see is one extra patch from Alex in your PR.
No need to backmerge, this is normal git stuff and there won't be conflicts when they merge a later Linus tag.
