Looking again, that initial kernel was not a vanilla v4.11-rc1, and I am
*not* able to reproduce this issue with a vanilla v4.11-rc1.
I believe I had applied an earlier fix for the locking issue Suzuki
recently addressed, which was why my line numbers were off.
I *can* trigger this issue with the current kvmarm master, and the log I
posted is valid.
Sorry for the bogus info; I will be more careful next time.
Thanks,
Mark.
