There _is_ a theoretical reproducer: the test that provoked syzkaller's
original bug report. But syzkaller doesn't realize that it is (or may
be) a reproducer.

It ought to be possible to ask syzkaller to run a particular test that
it has done before, with a patch applied -- and without having to add
anything to linux-next.
