Interesting. Well, nothing looks even remotely related from looking at the F14h
rev guide here:

Btw, hd (if that is your real name :-)), can you post /proc/cpuinfo? I
think I might have a E-350 here too and I could try to reproduce. Btw,
how exactly do you trigger?

You run FpuStateTaskSwitchShmemXattrHandlersOverwriteWithNullPage.c
first to modify shmem_xattr_handlers and then
ManipulatedXattrHandlerForPrivEscalation.c? You need a 32-bit kernel and
userspace, right? Anything else?

Thanks.
