The code triggered a page fault while trying to access
0xffffffffff240000, caused because the reserved bit was set in the page
table and no page was found. Looks like it jumped through a bogus
pointer.

And yes, the callstack may definitely be wrong - the stack dumper is
just scraping addresses from the stack, as indicated by the '?' symbol.

Yuanhan, what symbol does 0xffffffff81899e6b (the faulting instruction)
translate to?
