Sadly that's reality, we can't fix *all* bugs, so sometimes real bugs
would get closed but then hopefully be re-opened again if bots/users are
still hitting them.

Maybe they should be closed with a "-ENOREPRO" which would hopefully
encourage those users/bots to try and repro the issue on a newer version
of the kernel.
