yeah, 45sec is an extreme case that simply doesn't surprise me anymore ;)
that's not a normal/usual delay, of course, we are not this mad. on average
it's much better and may be not so far 2 seconds after all. a massive OOM
report, of course, appends logbuf messages at a much higher rate than UART
serial console can swallow, so the delay is getting larger, expectedly.
and, no, I don't add any printk-s, I'm looking at the lockup reports
