Is there any difference (regression, performance, etc.) between 6.03-pre19 and 6.03-pre20 in this particular hardware? TIA, Ady.

The original problem might have been solved already by commit: a7f5892c4d85f3685708b8efb237c9c73a8b1ddf "core, pxe: Don't push on one stack and pop from the other in pxenv" which is included in 6.03-pre19 already. In other words, the 3rd workaround seems to be now unnecessary. I am wondering whether, perhaps, the prior 2 workarounds might be also unnecessary now. Regards, Ady.
