Catalin sent it to me, and I didn't apply it because it's still racy.

We have stateful context switches (due to cache clearing) and this does
nothing to solve the problem there.  If we get preempted during the
cache clearing, things will still go wrong.

See:

I've no idea what's happening about this.  It looks to me like nothing
happened after Catalin's last comment there.
