- Ghost of Tsushima page fault
- Ethos gallium driver does not build on 32bit
- v3d: Build fails when ENABLE_SHADER_CACHE is disabled due to unconditional disk_cache access
- es1-ABI-check and es2-ABI-check test fails
- [ANV][Slab][Low-ram] GPU fragmentation in low-memory device when turning on slab.
- GL_AMD_framebuffer_multisample_advanced freezes the whole system

Oh, nice, it also has that fix for what broke SteamVR in earlier 25.3.x versions. I'll be able to unpin the mesa packages, then.
