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 :-) Segher

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