Okay, that's great. It needs to get resolved but it is not this series
at fault.
Very rare is a different perspective, I mis-thought it was happening
reproducible all the time..
It seems to me it is actually a legitimate thing for userspace to be
able to trigger this cache line debug. If you do concurrent O_DIRECT
to the very same memory it should trigger if I read it right..
So it may not even be an actual bug???
