I am not seeing those 2 failures on those 2 configs.

most of my recent testing has been on x86-defconfig + minimals,
built and run using/inside virtme-ng

the last kernel I installed on this hw was june 16, I will repeat that,
and report soon if I see the failure outside the vm

I'll also send you my script, to maybe speed isolation of the differences.
