Thanks. I'll re-review this, anyway, and re-bisect if time allows. The kernel/SGI-XFS combo pulled last night did much better in this regard. The problem is down to a different and single backtrace about vmalloc, and the PC is controllable now. The old git was moved to a different folder, though, in case it's still needed.
