Both are things to work on. In the mean time, I'm using the following
patch:
https://github.com/alexandrebelloni/linux/commit/3a2eae463fce18ae815b887a5c9ca1a657b180ac

I understood from
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1601.2/00941.html that this
was not your preferred course of action.

Even if that is something that is only seen when using preempt-rt, that
is probably something I should push mainline.

Yeah, what I meant is that you could stop merging after that patch as
this is the one solving the crash.
