[digging an old thread] So I'm looking at this machine where we can't get good PSR residency because the vblank_offdelay is so long. Therefore, I'm suddenly very interested in solving this issue :) Of course I can't seem to find logs of the fun IRC discussion you guys had, can you describe what the race is, and also what are the registers you're talking about?
