I believe Mark's recent changes introduced this. irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode_preempt() is now checking for both `regs` and `state`. Because there is a lot of non-instrumented code around, we fail to initialize these variables. Instead, irqentry_enter_from_kernel_mode() explicitly calls kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs(regs) to take care of the registers, but not the state. We should probably call `kmsan_unpoison_memory(&state, sizeof(state))` at the same place.
