I'll try to dig out some old boxes we have here, maybe the build robot

Fengguang et al, guys, is it possible for you to run this patch:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/b0ba174ea882ed36cf7011e872baf427c23b7e09.1424458621.git.luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

on your fleet - has to be baremetal - to check how it behaves,

That would be lovely :-)

Thanks!
