I found a fix for the issue. Fixes both the issue in this thread as well
as your reproducer. First thought they might not actually be the same
issue, but they indeed are. Haven't tested against the issue Thorsten
linked.

Havn't run the clang tests on it yet, but it does successfully compile
my kernel and fix the issue.

I'll open a PR and give more explanation tomorrow, it's getting
pretty late over here in CEST.


Here's the patch to be applied on top of
