Can you post the oops here in the same thread too? Maybe it's already
posted somewhere else, but I can't seem to find anything likely on
lkml at least..

On x86-64, it obviously just causes the (expected) EFAULT error from
the futex call.

Somebody with access to sparc64 probably needs to debug this, but
having the exact oops wouldn't hurt...
