Looking deeper, I have an idea about what's going on:

  https://quora.org/dmesg.txt

Each of the warnings seems to show an interrupt happening during an EFI
call.  I'm guessing EFI modified the frame pointer, at least
temporarily, which confused the unwinder :-(

Would it be possible for you to test again with 4.10?  It has some
additional unwinder output which should hopefully confirm my suspicions.
