Ok.
As for the generic/154... the code on github is sadly not very bisectable,
other than to say that until yesterday I was still tacking new code onto
the end of the patchset.
That said, I was seeing occasional hangs in generic/154 (I needed to roll
the transactions between key parts of wrapping up a CoW) and they seem to
have gone away, so it's possible that I've fixed it already.
