I don't have a system in this state at the moment, so we checked
previous logs on machines running older kernels. It's extermely
uncommon, but this error was happening prior to this series, so I don't
think this introduced any new problem here. I'll keeping looking, but I
don't think we'll make much progress if I can't find a more reliable
reproducer.
