I dug more and I don't see this?  I threw a WARN_ON in the idt_save_pkrs().

Its showing most of these are coming from asm_sysvec_acpi_timer_interrupt().[1]

I don't see that call schedule() between idtentry_enter() and *_exit()...

I do see page faults.  But that is not the first instance where the count gets
messed up.
