Hi Andriy,

apologies for the lack of reports.  With the previous set of patches I
once had a "use after free" panic (additionally to the usual
cycle-panics), but failed to keep the vmcore :(
Then I upgraded to a newer head version and didn't get any panics any
longer. Not sure what that means, either my previous kernel was somehow
buggy by chance or the timing has changed sufficiently to no longer
trigger the condition.
Once I've finished finding an unrelated userland bug with head (all my
C++ applications crash), I'll try your patch.

Stefan
