We can't use per-cpu allocations from NMI context because of the same
problem, per-cpu uses vmalloc and vmalloc needs faults. Hence that
shouldn't be a problem.

It looks like you covered most of it though, the buffer and the
callchain stuff, aside from that it should only use some static data.

Pekka, what does kmemcheck do for .data and .bss things?
