Is there any workload which can triggers the panic?  I can't trigger it
by building and testing GCC, or building the kernel anymore.

And is your "stable" issue the same one I'd encountered?  To me changing
barrier() to smp_mb() may fix some deadlock, but not a panic.  (I'm not
an expert on CPU architecture or kernel programming, so maybe I'm wrong
here.)

I'll put my 3A5000 machine into a loop building kernel and see if I can
trigger the panic again...
