Unfortunately I was wrong about my theory because I mixed qp and qp_in, the new frag
doesn't make the chainlist if that codepath is hit so it couldn't mix the flags.
I'm still trying (unsuccessfully) to reproduce this, I've tried with up to 4 cores
and 4 different pinned irqs but no luck so far.
Anyway, I'll keep looking into this and will let you know if I get anywhere.
