One random memcorruption fixed:

    drm/i915/fence: Use rcu to defer freeing of irq_work

    It is illegal to perform an immediate free of the struct irq_work from
    inside the irq_work callback (as irq_work_run_list modifies work->flags
    after execution of the work->func()). As we use the irq_work to
    coordinate the freeing of the callback from two different softirq paths,
    we need to defer the kfree from inside our irq_work callback, for which
    we can use kfree_rcu.

    Fixes: 81c0ed21aa91 ("drm/i915/fence: Avoid del_timer_sync() from inside a
timer")

Hopefully this explains a lot of weirdness.
