Thank you for the feedback; I will use comments more for future updates 
there. I didn't know anyone was following that issue (I haven't received 
any reply from nouveau developers on the nouveau list [1] or on gitlab 
[2]) so I have tried to keep that issue description succinct and 
up-to-date for anyone reading it for the first time.

[1]: 
<https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2022-September/041001.html>
[2]: But Karol Herbst did add the "regression" label.

Also if anyone has any ideas about any stress-tests or anything else 
that I might be able to trigger the crash with, please share.

Thanks,
