And the last one should address Anjaneya's issue. I applied the two revert patches to 5.15.7 (the last one won't apply so I skipped it) and the resulting x86 32-bit kernel boots fine here on the Thinkpad X1E that was having issues previously. Then I tested an unpatched 5.16-rc4, which (as expected) got the boot hang on the affected machine. Applied the three patches, and the resulting kernel boots fine. Take care, Pat
