That is plausible, given that bisection has narrowed things down to
somewhere between v6.5-rc5 and v6.5-rc6.  And it is quite conveniently
currently on a bad commit.  Sometimes you get lucky.  ;-)

So pulling in those commits from -tip, currently headed by this one:

d80c3c9de067 ("x86/srso: Explain the untraining sequences a bit more")

Then merging them with the current bad commit gets me a successful
run.  Thank you!!!

							Thanx, Paul
