RE: the LOCKUP: It takes long enough to kill a zookeeper connection, which
hurts. It has always happened, but as I've upped the load, it happens
more. Started with 3.15. I was able to install the very latest kernel by
force-installing the firmware package. But the latest kernel won't let me
make a necessary kernel module because I don't have gcc 4.9, needed for
STACKPROTECT. The latest kernel I've tried is the 3.16.
