Yeah, apparently there's something else wrong with the relocation changes too.

That said, does that patch at

https://lore.kernel.org/intel-gfx/20200821123746.16904-1-joro@xxxxxxxxxx/

change things at all? If there are two independent bugs, maybe
applying that patch might at least give you an oops that gets saved in
the logs?

(it might be worth waiting a bit after the machine locks up in case
the machine is alive enough so sync logs after a bit.. If ssh works,
that's obviously better yet)
