The last crash I looked at suggested somehow put_user got re-entered
with the user protection turned back on. Either there is a path through
one of the kernel handlers where this happens or there's something
weird going on with qemu.

I'll be trying to get this run up on real hardware this week, the nvme
with my debian install died last week so I have to go and re-install
the machine to get development work done on it.
