Hello,

no, changing to  printk(KERN_CRIT "XXX: ...", ...)  in kernel/workqueue.c didn't
print anything I could read. Would it appear before the "panic screen"? But I'm
not able to scroll back.
The Panic screen starts with

BUG: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
IP: [<ffffffff8103eef1>] delayed_work_timer_fn+0x13/0x70

and the Call Trace with

Call Trace:
 <IRQ>
 [<ffffffff81056fbf>] ? ktime_get+0x5f/0xf0
 [<ffffffff810342c6>] ? run_timer_softirq+0x106/0x220
 [<ffffffff8105cc44>] ? tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast+0xc4/0xe0

Do I need special settings in the kernel config?
