These ought to be rare.  probe_kernel_xyz are hopefully already
covered, which leaves strange accesses to things that are known to be
out of bounds, which ought to be just the memory allocation stuff
(already covered?) and stack walking code (this stuff).

I think that READ_ONCE_NOCHECK is a decent solution that isn't too messy.
