I'll try over the weekend - no locks so far.
Bisecting would be a pain for me as I managed to very long lucky runs
previously, so wouldn't be able to easily call good.
I notice that enable_scheduler is now on by default, maybe flipping that would
be quicker than bisect. Long ago I did try some older kernel with that enabled
and though it didn't fix IIRC it took longer to lock than was normal at that
time.
