Thank you,
they both refer to fix a patch that in turn fixes issues that existed
before 19.11.
Hence they came into the candidate list.

For the second one you are right, this isn't present, but 04bcc80204
refers to fix 8c1df884.
And 8c1df884 is in 19.11.x as:

commit 8c1df8846b15bf87beee2907dd9ecb5d5adaca1d
Author: Marvin Liu <yong.liu at intel.com>
Date:   Mon Sep 28 16:20:51 2020 +0800

    net/virtio: fix packed ring indirect descricptors setup

    [ upstream commit 381f39ebb78a35d8dcc2d4500419644c7de5400f ]


So do we really not need/want it?
