It's really nothing 'perfect' and has no aspiration to be a part of
kernel at all - I'm just using it for checking correctness of my own
development. Also to avoid lots of weird positives I've added couple
'fixes' where I'm using irqsave() instead of plain 'irq()' lock - but
it's mostly codepath, where kernel prints some oopses....
So here is my simple patch - which is most probably horribly broken :)
but it helps in some cases to detect potential problem.
