Peter has a pending queue for .37 which includes:

	[RFC][PATCH 3/7] perf, hw_breakpoint: Fix crash in hw_breakpoint creation

This patch should fix the issue (it depends on others in the queue).

What is mmotm1014 BTW? Because you should see this bug only in a tree
that has tip:/perf/core merged inside, like linux-next.

Thanks.
