I re-tested and it all seems fine now. I suspect it got fixed by:

  ca37e57bbe0c: x86/entry/64: Add missing irqflags tracing to native_load_gs_index()

still it is weird, because I boot that system with latest -tip on a daily basis, 
and don't remember having seen that warning.

Do you have any theory for why the entry stack changes would uncover this bug?
