Unkillable linux processes

[Johannes Lundberg]

Hi

I seem to have some unkillable Linux processes...
This is on my AMD Ryzen, the exact same installation on my Broadwell laptop
does not show this behavior.
At the second top output, the three remaining processes' cpu usage is
fluctuating, just as when they are running normally.
Kernel is from one or two days ago with kib's patch that I got the other
day.
