An example at
https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/tree/drm-tip/CI_DRM_6310/fi-kbl-x1275/dmesg0.log
https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/tree/drm-tip/CI_DRM_6310/fi-kbl-x1275/boot0.log

The bug causing the oops is clearly a driver problem. The rc5 fallout
just seems to be because of some shrinker changes affecting some object
reaping that were unfortunately still active. What perturbed the CI
team was the machine failed to panic & reboot.
