Might be worth trying to revert those from 5.12 to see if they are
causing the issue? Jan, Paolo - does this ring any bells?

git log --oneline --no-merges v5.11..c03c21ba6f4e > bisect.txt

I tried checking out a33df75c6328, which is right before the first bfq
commit, but that kernel won't boot the hardware.

Next I checked out v5.12, then reverted these commits in order (that
they were found in the bisect.txt file):

7684fbde4516 bfq: Use only idle IO periods for think time calculations
28c6def00919 bfq: Use 'ttime' local variable
41e76c85660c bfq: Avoid false bfq queue merging

The two commits prefixed by >>> above were not previously mentioned by
Jens, but I reverted them anyway because they showed up in the git log
command.

OK so, within 10 minutes the problem does happen still. This is
block/bfq-iosched.c resulting from the above reverts, in case anyone
wants to double check what I did:

Any suggestions for further testing? I could try go down farther in the bisect.txt list. The problem is if the hardware falls over on an unbootable kernel, I have to bug someone with LOM access. That's a limited resource.

How about changing the scheduler either mq-deadline or noop, just to see 
if this is also reproducible with a different scheduler. I guess noop 
would imply the blk cgroup controller is going to be disabled
