Hi. Just to add a few extra data that may help to find the problem. I
was ( still ) not able to fully complete the git bisect but, here is the
current status:

ALSO AN IMPORTANT NOTE: If I disable CONFIG_PCI_MSI this problem will
not occur on my machine in any of the Kernels. Can anyone corroborate ?
