Ok, sounds good. I guess we can include something like this patch in
the next series.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] x86/entry: re-enable interrupts before exiting

If the kernel oopses in an interrupt, nothing re-enables interrupts:

do_exit() expects to be called in a well-defined environment, so let's
re-enable interrupts after unwinding the stack, in case they were disabled.
