With this patch in the tree, I get:

[    1.198134] Unexpected gfp: 0x2 (__GFP_HIGHMEM). Fixing up to gfp: 0x1192888 (GFP_NOWAIT|__GFP_FS|__GFP_NOWARN|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_HARDWALL|__GFP_MOVABLE|__GFP_SKIP_KASAN_POISON). Fix your code!

with some qemu emulations. Bisect log is attached.

I can not easily revert the patch since an attempt to do so causes
conflicts, so I can not test upstream without this patch.
