No, what happened is that the commit was first moved into WIP.x86/debug showing its work-in-progress status, because it was incomplete and caused bugs:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180518073644.GA8593@gmail.com/T/#u
... and finally, after weeks of inaction I zapped it because I didn't see progress and you didn't answer my question.
If a fixed patch with updated tooling to detect these crashes before they occur on live systems is submitted we'll reconsider - it didn't get NAK-ed, it's just incomplete in the current form.
Thanks,
Ingo
