Okay, that seems to have delt with the callbacks supressed issue.

I also seem to be hitting it as a result of the scheduler triggering a WARN, where print_stack_trace(), for example, just uses printk().

Now I'm not sure what's your approach here, do we keep converting printk to printk_deferred one by one until we whacked every mole?
