That would definitely do it.  I had to think about it for a few minutes
to see how it explains some of the stranger behavior but it explains
all of the funny behavior I have seen.

Thank you for tracking this down.

The fact the original bug report was on s390 had me somehow thinking
this was s390 only.

I will double check everything get this in linux-next and then send this
to Linus.
