There's no obvious clues in modules either. Sad. I was really hoping
for some "oh, there's a list_head at offset 0x1e68 of structure 'xyz',
that's obviously it".
So maybe it really is something like a pointer to some on-stack data,
and the 0x1e68 offset is just a random offset off the beginning of the
stack (it's in the right range). The stack is still one of the few
obvious 8kB allocations we have...
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC really should catch it in that case, though.
