Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking.

Top-posting for once, to make this easy accessible to everyone.

Davyd, Ronnie, and/or Steve: What the status here? It seems after some
productive debugging back and forth it seems everyone forgot about this.
Or was progress made somewhere and I just missed it?

Ciao, Thorsten
