Thanks to Stan Johnson for capturing the console log and running git
bisect.

Git bisect said commit 8e3a68fb55e0 ("dma-mapping: make

know why. Perhaps mach_l2_flush first became reachable with that commit.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
