Subject: Re: PROBLEM: 4.15.0-rc3 APIC causes lockups on Core 2 Duo laptop

I was just now trying to track down my other issue, whereby somewhere
along the tree kexec stops working properly. In the process of doing
that I realized I had initially made one change to the original 4.9
config beyond oldconfig: I'd turned off WX debugging.

I've now compiled a bunch of versions with WX debugging back on, and
new behavior arises. I am attaching the joournalctl log of a booted
4.13 kernel (from Linus' tree, commit 569dbb8).

It boots and logs me in, but returns a call trace I wasn't seeing
without the WX debugging. I am sending over in case it provides any
information.

The trace bears the 23:24:09 timestamp.
