It's a uniprocessor amd64 kernel. Neither irq_sp nor cpu_sp get set.
I have
crash> sym irq_stack_union
ffffffff81a1c000 (D) irq_stack_union
crash> sym cpu_number
symbol not found: cpu_number
It's not accepted by per_cpu_symbol_search() because its type is not
'V' and because it's not between __per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end.
__per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end are the same; I don't know if
there's something wrong with that.
