I hit this again overnight, it's the same trace, the only difference
being slightly different addresses in the list pointers:

[42572.777196] list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (ffffe8ffff806648), but was ffffc90000647cd8. (prev=ffff880503a0ba00).

I'm actually a little surprised that ->next was the same across two
reboots on two different kernel builds.  That might be a sign this is
more repeatable than I'd thought, even if it does take hours of runtime
right now to trigger it.  I'll try and narrow the scope of what trinity
is doing to see if I can make it happen faster.
