Hello.

I have tested the patch, booted with a WITNESS kernel including that
patch, and it has locked up (solid again, no numlock or console
changing, no control-alt-esc to debugger) after about 41 minutes
(timestamps in /var/log/all.log go from 19:12:57 to 19:53:40).

I did get two LOR reports in dmesg, they are attached.
