Ok, cool.

I still think we should do the oops number marking, though, as it has
more benefits than just syzkaller scanning for it. The first oops has always
been of crucial importance so having the number in there:

[    2.542218] [1] general protection fault while derefing a non-canonical address 0xdfff000000000001: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
	 	^

would make eyeballing oopses even easier. Basically the same reason why
you're doing this enhancement. :)

So let me know if you don't have time to do it or you don't care about
it etc, and I'll have a look. Independent of those patches, of course -
those look good so far.

Thx.
