In both these cases, the storage access goes to LSU0, so you're
not hitting the errata.
I'll take your word for it.
If this doesn't help, and the failures stay intermittent, I don't think
there is a close-to-the-hardware problem here.
I saw no effect from that change.  So now we're back to pure mystery, I guess.


Thanks,
Roland

Hey, we know something now: it's "just" a problem in the kernel :-)

We don't know that for sure. The DABR context switching code is trivial
enough...
