Erm.. nope

# (cat /proc/meminfo ; cat /proc/meminfo) |  grep KernelStack
KernelStack:        5920 kB
KernelStack:        5928 kB

# (cat /proc/meminfo ; cat /proc/meminfo) |  grep KernelStack
KernelStack:        5952 kB
KernelStack:        5960 kB

maybe interrupt nesting ad nauseum? How does one debug
such issues?

It is possible that my previous posting was also caused by this -
disregard, I'll post again if the problem persists.

Jordan, could you check whether your kernel stack remains
stable with only the 3 patches reverted?

Thanks
