I'm at a loss here. Are you saying that those 4 lines represent a complete
backtrace and they are very large? Or are you talking about the panic log
that I've included in the commit message?

Would you mind pointing out what you think the relevant sections are? I
would also find it very useful (for future patches) if you can explain why
they are relevant, and why those parts you've left out aren't.  It's not
very easy to figure out what is relevant when you're not familiar with a
subsystem.

Thanks,
