Is __memcpy() generally available? I think that bypasses KASAN and
whatever else.

I tried to find the stack that is used by the crashing code -- which led
me to entry_stack? So I tried this:

--- a/arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h
+++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h
@@ -370,7 +370,7 @@ struct x86_hw_tss {
 #define IO_BITMAP_OFFSET_INVALID	(__KERNEL_TSS_LIMIT + 1)
 
 struct entry_stack {
-	unsigned long		words[64];
+	unsigned long		words[128];
 };
 
 struct entry_stack_page {

No more crash. But that's probably not what we want. Just a datapoint.

If we can use __memcpy() here, that would probably solve that.
