The kernel backtrace is produced using the latest v7.1-rc4 kernel. There 
are a number of changes to the debug_exception_enter() and 
debug_exception_exit() functions over the years, but the preemption 
disable code remains since its introduction in v5.3.

BTW, what v6.17-rc1 patches are you talking about?
