This series fixes oopses on Alpha/SMP observed since kernel v6.9. [1] Thanks to Magnus Lindholm for identifying that remarkably longstanding bug.
Thanks, I'm testing the v2 series of the patches now.

I've been running the patches on the 6.12.11 kernel for over 24 hours now. Going very well and, in particular, I would like to note that:
The thread-test in the pixman package which has been failing for over year 10 years on real Alpha hardware now passes!
I have now successfully built guile-3.0 with threading support! Previously guile would lock up on Alpha if threading support was enabled.
So there are some very long-standing bugs seen in user space that are fixed by this patch series.
Cheers, Michael.
