NFS crash, hashed pointers in backtrace

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

During a failed write to a virtual sysfs file (root fs is NFS), I got:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000020

Unfortunately, due to the%p hashing, I no longer know which values I
can trust...

Any clues? Thanks!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
