After much more debugging, the patch below 'fixes' the crash as well, when
CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is disabled.

Note that if *any* of those 4 padding sequences is removed, the kernel starts
crashing again. Also note that the exact size of the padding appears to be not
material - it could be larger as well, i.e. it's not an alignment bug I think.

In any case it's not a problem in the actual assembly code paths itself it
appears.

One guess would be tha it's some sort of sizing bug: maybe the padding forces a
key piece of data or code on another page - but I'm too tired to root cause it
right now.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ingo
