Ok, so you think there is an additional regression between
6.4.6 and 6.4.7-rc1? on top of the two that you have not bisected?

I don't see any changes in drivers/pci/ after 6.4.5, so I'm
even more confused now.

This looks identical to the first bugs that you reported, so I'd
suggest you keep trying to narrow down when that one started rather
than looking at the latest stable-rc.
