Thanks, these two are useful, mainly because the register contents most
likely to be ptes are in both of these ...900, with no sign of a ...902.

So the RW bit I got excited about yesterday is clearly not necessary for
the bug (though it's still possible that it was good for implicating page
migration, and page migration still play a part in the story).

Thanks for supplying, but the change in inlining means that
change_protection_range() and change_protection() are no longer
relevant for these traces, we now need to see change_pte_range()
instead, to confirm that what I expect are ptes are indeed ptes.

If you can include line numbers (objdump -ld) in the disassembly, so
much the better, but should be decipherable without.  (Or objdump -Sd
for source, but I often find that harder to unscramble, can't say why.)

Thanks,
Hugh
