The correct place to report this is:

I captured one of our lockups and am attaching the
output of ksymoops for further interpretation by mroe
experienced eyes when it comes to kernel internals.

Here is the actual error, and attached, the ksymoops
interpretation of it.

Can you reproduce with an untainted kernel ??

This is what you also need to report to the above mentioned address...
