Apparently I can not, and frustrated'ingly do not understand it.
Tried twice, and every time I get it broken to the end of bisection -
so the fixed-in-5.3-rc4 theory falls apart. Yet if I build cleanly
5.3-rc4 or -rc5, it works OK.
Then on a 32 bit system - I first tried with a scaled-down kernel
(just with the drivers needed in the VM). That one is never working,
even in rc5. Yet the "full" kernel works OK. So now there is a config
issue variation on top of other problem?

For now I use a timeout counter patch - and it is showing 100% irq9
jammed and needing rescue. And I am even more confused...

Thanks, Woody
