Jeremy,

could you back out Andi's patch and try the patch below, does it fix the 
crash too?

Subject: [patch] i386-PDA, lockdep: fix %gs restore
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

in the syscall exit path the %gs selector has to be restored _after_ the
last kernel function has been called. If lockdep is enabled then this
kernel function is TRACE_IRQS_ON.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
