Yikes, surprised this one snuck in here.

Talk me through this... Right now I think this is a bug that is going
to cause random and extremely hard to debug problems. I've had these
in the past and they are really really nasty as it's random stack corruption.
The nasty is not the fact it's on the stack, but the fact that it isn't
in it's own cacheline.
So my inclination is this definitely needs stable and fixes tag.
What am I missing?
