Yeah, putting it on the stack is probably safer, just in case.

What is even better, though, is if I extended
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce-genpool.c to allocate a second buffer for the
decoded strings. We use it for the struct mces right now.

And 1-2 pages should be fine:

8192 / 128 = 64 decoded strings in flight.

I guess that should cover most situations. Famous last words.

In any case, thanks for pointing this out.
