Spose so.

But what _did_ cause it?  Looks like we took an IRQ and then leapt into
outer space, when do_IRQ() called desc->handle_irq().

Matthias, could you please test with CONFIG_4KSTACKS=n?

Also, one cause of this might be a module which fails to clean up when it's
removed.  And the trace indicates that some module has previously
been unloaded.  Can you work out which module(s) that might be?
