Hi Eric: yeah I think the test was just due to the TSO chunking
difference between prod and upstream, which I was able to avoid with
this patch re-suited by Neal in b/34128974. In fact, this patch
enables me to run all recovery tests on upstream kernels for my RACK
patch set.

Neal: can we polish and check that in? super useful.
