It is reported that the auto-serialization mechanism has broken some machine. A patch in this series tries to fix the reported issue, it is sent to the reporter for verification, thus marked as RFC.
Since this feature may still need to be validated, we can disable it temporarily in order not to break users. The patch to make it default disabled is also marked as RFC. We can determine if it is needed according to the verification result.
