I've been seeing that WARN_ON for months but it was hard to reproduce.
After a lot of hassle (and scores or reboots) I managed to narrow this to 
a small test case.

Unfortunately it only reproduces on my core2 machine.  My ivb machine 
won't trigger it because it doesn't support PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
when precise_ip=1; is set.

This is with 3.14-rc2

The test case is attached, the warning message from my machine is below.
