I have been working on reproducing this problem but ran into a different
problem. I found 5.1 and newer kernels no longer boot on an S7 server or
in an ldom on a T7 server (kernel hangs after "crc32c_sparc64: Using
sparc64 crc32c opcode optimized CRC32C implementation" on console). A
long git bisect session between 5.0 and 5.1 pointed to commit
73a66023c937 ("sparc64: fix sparc_ipc type conversion") but that makes
no sense. I will keep working on finding root cause. I wonder if
Anatoly's git bisect result is also suspect.
