Still no crash, so this one indeed seems to change things.

If I understand it correctly, these patches fix the problem
when it happens and we still don't know why the TLB is stale
in the first place - whether there is (also) a genuine bug
or whether we are hitting some chip errata, right?


For the record the cpuinfo for my present testsystem:

processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 5
model : 10
model name : Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by AMD PCS
stepping : 2
microcode : 0x88a93d
cpu MHz : 498.042
cache size : 128 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu de pse tsc msr cx8 sep pge cmov clflush mmx

bogomips : 996.08
clflush size : 32

and for the Celeron M where I can unfortunately reproduce
it much less often (days to weeks).
