What kernel version are we talking about exactly here? Please notice the
base that I used in the cover letter (rc2 or rc3). They should also
rebase cleanly on top of v6.5-rc5.

I'm not sure what the patches will do if you apply them to an older
kernel.

So you have been experiencing kernel panics from before? What does
before mean? And can you bisect to pinpoint what commit fixed it?

You mean that 6pack is broken in all the major versions up until v2? If
this is the case, then it might be an issue that is not related to this
patchset.I see that Andreas Koensgen <ajk@comnets.uni-bremen.de> is the
maintainer of 6pack, maybe he can chime in on the issue?
