Sure, I'm happy to provide drm debug messages. Enabling everything
(0x1ff) generates *a lot* of log messages, though. Is there a smaller
subset that would be useful? Fwiw, I don't see much in the full drm logs
about the AMD GPU anyway; it's mostly about the Intel GPU.
All the messages in the system log containing "01:00" or "1002:6981" are
identical between the two versions.
I've posted below the only places in the logs which contain "amd". The
commit with the issue (f9b7f3703ff9) has a few drm log messages from
amdgpu which are not present in the logs for f1688bd69ec4.

Other things I'm willing to try if they'd be useful:
- I could update to the 21.Q4 Radeon Pro driver in the Windows VM. (The
21.Q3 driver is currently installed.)
- I could set up a Linux guest VM with PCI passthrough to compare to the
Windows VM and obtain more debugging information.
- I could build a kernel with a patch applied, e.g. to disable some of
the changes in f9b7f3703ff9.
