. This is probably also the case with less recent kernel versions (cannot
confirm as of now).
. The vmcore was the one produced by "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger"
. Advice of using --readnow does not suppress the error.
. Using --no_data_debug option allows to go further.
This is a result of the recent x86/x86_64 merger. And I expect that
there will be several more crippling issues associated with the data
structure changes associated with that merger.
But it *may* be possible to get past what your seeing by applying this
change to x86_64.c:

This only works because the new embedded x86_hw_tss structure (which
contains the ist[] array of exception stack pointers) is the first
member of the generic tss_struct.
