 Had to turn off modules to get it to build.  It half-logged another
oops, but no backtraces, and SysRq+r does nothing.  Nothing else
unusual in the log.

 Apparently I do use swiotlb - I didn't know that, and can't see
where it gets asked in menuconfig, but I can see
CONFIG_SWIOTLB=y

 Let me know if there is anything else I can test (probably pm
