I honestly don't know. All I know is that Greg is concerned about
the number of regressions in v6.1.y, and this problem was one
he specifically mentioned to me as potential reason to not designate
6.1.y as LTS kernel. The extensive discussion at [1] may be an
indication that there is a problem, though that mostly refers to
[lack of] test coverage and does not point to specific regressions.
