After 4 days of stability I just had the retry page fault problem again,
with stock linux-firmware 1.197 and kernel 5.11.0-17-generic.

So apparently the flatpak update made the problem less likely to happen,
but it still does.

Life got in the way and I wasn't able to do this yet.

With it taking 4 days to reproduce the problem with the current stack, I
think it still makes sense to revert the flatpak update.

Unfortunately "flatpak history" seems to be broken on my system:

$ flatpak history
error: appstream2/x86_64 is not application or runtime

I'll try using ostree directly. I don't think I'll be able to do it today,
but hopefuly within the next couple of days.
