Subject: perf_fuzzer causes reboot

So I'm not sure who exactly to report this to.  Some perf people CC'd as
I trigger it while using the perf_fuzzer.

This is with 3.14-rc3 on a core2 machine, although I've had the reboots 
happen throughout at least 3.14-rc*

I'm having a hard time coming up with a reproducible test case.  Using the 
random seed that caused the below will cause the perf_fuzzer to segfault 
but not reboot.

The log isn't very helpful, it reboots so fast that the oops doesn't 
finish printing and the serial log just moves to the bootloader...
