I've tried, but ended up on an unrelated XFS merge commit. Probably I
marked a few commits good due to not seeing this heisenbug.

For reference, here's the bisect log.

Bad commits showed one or both of "unhandled level 0 translation fault" and
"invalid pointer". Good commits didn't show any during 6 tries.
