I tried running this master branch of linux-next from here [1].
But I started facing build failures with it.

This looks like you must have this patch from Steven as well [2].
Although I did test the patch and didn't see such a crash on my qemu box [3].

@Steven,
Sorry to bother. But does this crash strike anything obvious to you?
