yes, applying your patch didn't help, still locks up on the Haswell 
machine.

Is there any debugging I could turn on that would help?  I tried KASAN 
but it didn't help.  I think I have the regular lockdep stuff enabled.

alt-sysrq doesn't work either (or at least, the version using BREAK over 
the serial console doesn't, I can maybe try hooking up a keyboard/display 
to see if that helps).
