FWIW here's a better test. It only uses qemu-system-x86_64 & a
vmlinuz file of your choice, and is very fast. It usually hits the
bug in seconds.

NB: You will need to change the definition of VMLINUX in
config-bz2216496-qemu.h (and generally read the code before running,
but hopefully it should just work apart from choosing a kernel image).

Still open to any suggestions about better ways to debug this, or
anything you'd like me to try out.
