Subject: Re: automated way to find functions that we might want to blacklist

Here's a list of functions that cause Debian's 3.1.0 kernel to crash
under qemu/kvm for me, found using the script and a fair amount of
manual testing (because some of them only crash rarely). This list is
probably not exhaustive; Timo's tool could use some tweaking to enable
the stress test to be run for longer periods of time and to zero on
all the functions that only crash sometimes.

* arch_local_irq_enable
* arch_local_irq_restore
* clts
* hash_64
* hash_ptr
* inat_get_opcode_attribute
* native_safe_halt
* native_set_debugreg
* native_set_fixmap
* outw
