This almost always means that we dereferenced a NULL pointer ... though
any access into the bottom PAGE_SIZE of kernel virtual address space
will result in this trap.  This happens on ia64 because we have a "NaT"
page mapped at 0x0 so that speculative loads that chase NULL pointers
at the end of lists behave more rationally.

Sadly I don't have the actual address. The register that was used
for the dereference isn't included in the OOPS output.
