btw, Ingo and I were scratching heads over an x86_64 oops in curent -linus
trees.

If you enable profiling and frame pointers, profile_pc() goes splat
dereferencing the `regs' argument when it decides that the pc refers to a
lock section.  Ingo said `regs' had a value of 0x2, iirc.  Consider this a
bug report ;)
