I rebased the series on top of v6.1-rc2 and gave it a try. Unfortunately it
blows up in my face, first with

This is with arm64_defconfig plus various debug options.
Running the same test with v6.0.4 produces no errors, and neither
does running it with v6.1-rc2-105-gb229b6ca5abb (current mainline).
