Damn, I'm annoyed that I didn't come across this in testing. Looks like
arm64 defconfig doesn't have DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, so that's probably why.
I'll see if I can adjust my scripts to enable that (and some others) for
the builds I actually run.

Joerg -- please can you apply this one on top of the pull request I sent
yesterday?
