hm, I don't think I've seen an "unexpected reboot" report before.

Can you expand on specifically what happened here? Did the machine
simply magically reboot itself? Or did an external monitor whack it,
or...

Does this test distinguish from a kernel which simply locks up?

I assume the "C reproducer" is irrelevant here.

Is it reproducible?

Can we assume that the failure occurred in or immediately after the MD code,
or might some output have been truncated?

It would be useful to know what the kernel was initializing immediately
after MD. Do you have a kernel log for the same config when the kerenl
didn't fail? Or maybe enable initcall_debug?
