Yeah, I think a per-cpu variable is fine for now. But, that only gives
you a dump from a single entry to the kernel. Ideally, it would be nice
to have a stack of them so you could do things like debug
syscall->fault->oops. Was it the syscall entry or the fault entry that
lead to the oops?
But, the stack gets really fun because of NMIs.
I'm sure Andy Lutomirski has some ideas too.
