Yes. It's in fact the far more common case and we have a bread of

Hi,
I just wondered if the below type of crash was a known thing, and if
there are any obvious things I can do to prevent/fix it ?

Just to throw another possibly-overlooked variable into the mess:
My system here is using the on-demand cpufreq policy governor.
I wonder how that interacts with the various schedulers here?
I suppose for the make kernel case, after a couple of seconds
the cpufreq would hit max and stay there
If it isn't obsolete then fix the code to use the newer APIs
Why should that be a precondition for removing the incorrect
obsolete label?
Because if we remove the obsolete label the users are going to be
suprised when it goes away entirely with BROKEN or !HOTPLUG or
