So, with Kees' patch reverted, booting with slub_debug=F (or even more
specific slub_debug=F,ftrace_event_field) also hits this bug below. I
wanted to bisect it, but v5.7 was also bad, and also v5.6. Didn't try
further in history. So it's not new at all, and likely very specific to
your config+QEMU? (and related to the ACPI error messages that precede it?).
