NB2: 4.14.83 is obsolete, as it stands 2255 patches behind the tip of
linux-4.14.y (though only 4 patches in fs/proc).

NB3: 4.14 is 108499(!!) patches behind v5.1-rc5 (latest release). It makes
sense to test on a recent kernel, in case someone has solved the issue along
the way (then the bisecting fun can begin).

I'm not sure what "monkey testing" entails...

Any relation to the infinite monkey theorem?
