That set of patches doesn't look to have anything interesting (TPM/zorro/docs/S390)
which suggests that it wasn't caused by a change to linux in
that timeframe, so either:

  1) It's not a linux change at all
  2) It was something earlier where the non-determinism meant that it didn't show up as soon as it was introduced
  3) I'm wrong about the above

If it's 1) then it may point to a change on ci.linaro.org around that time, but it's
not clear why arm-soc for-next hasn't shown this problem for such a long run
of builds now.

We seem to have elminated LAVA entirely from the equation by reproducing
with just the hwpack and rootfs.

Now let's see if we can eliminate CI. Would someone who knows how to do such things
build linus tip with omap2plus_defconfig and test it on an OMAP?

If that works, does it make a difference if you cross-build from an x86 host?

Thanks,

James
