The bug even kills the host (running 4.13) when running 24e700e2 in qemu
(kvm) and compiling stuff in parallel in the guest.
I see an RCU CPU stall in dmesg (on the host), but unfortunately cannot
save it, because nothing gets written to disk after the stall.
Connecting to qemu via gdb also doesn't work.
