Running -rc+ 2without your first two patches doesn't trigger it. Well,
I don't know what workload even triggered it, it used to happen during
system upgrade. I left the box without your patches to build the kernel

Now I'm back and it all still looks good.

I'll try running only with this second patch, i.e. the ret-to-user
SYSRET speedup thing. See what happens.
