Hi again, everyone.

So, while preparing to file the bug report with the requested
information, I got a trace completely unrelated to DRM (on a swapon
call, it seems).

[    4.868340] rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on
CPUs/tasks: { 4-.... } 3 jiffies s: 265 root: 0x10/.

Could it be that RCU is reporting expedited stalls too eagerly? And,
if so, why only on this machine?
