OK, I did succeed in reproducing some problems with my patches - once I was
able to trigger a livelock and following softlockup warning - this is
actually a problem introduced by my patches, and once a use after free
issue (not sure what that was since after I've added some debugging I
wasn't able to trigger it anymore). Anyway, I'll try more after fixing the
livelock. Do you want me to add fixes on top of my series or just fixup the
original series?
