So its faulting while looking up the userspace page tables, so
something buggered. The CR3 has bit 12 clear so its a kernel CR3, which
is also somewhat puzzling.

Oooh, right, its the CR3 from when we report the OOPS, which is less
than useful.

I can't get further than that the page-tables are screwed..
