  commit 03252919b7
  Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
  Date:   Wed Jan 30 13:33:18 2008 +0100

      x86: print which shared library/executable faulted in segfault etc. messages

the problem is that we call down_read() from an atomic context.

Solve this by returning from print_vma_addr() if the preempt count is
elevated. Update preempt_conditional_sti / preempt_conditional_cli to
unconditionally lift the preempt count even on !CONFIG_PREEMPT.
