Hmm, this would then be no different with the "normal" Code: line as
I simply stole it from there. And I have CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y. And it
looks ok in my guest:

So, theoretically, show_regs() would generate the same thing on your
machine. Normal splats look the ok here too:

Yeah, this is purely a debug feature so how about I stick it behind a
switch in debugfs which is root-only and it is disabled by default? When
you boot, you do:

# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/x86/detailed_segfault

Hmmm?
