Testing is hard as the oops is not easily reproducible, but I'll
prepare a non-4KSTACKS kernel so that I can boot to it if we oops
again.

I'm still interested to hear from someone if the patch in bugzilla is
good for catching a real error case, or if it's papering over a larger
problem (for example a stack overrun).
