At least this one is now explainable: There is no problem related to
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS. finish_task_switch is not part of the critical
shadow task switch, and the oops I saw finally turned out to be caused
by my buggy virtual hardware (IOW: an unrelated hypervisor bug). Nothing
to worry about for Xenomai or I-pipe.
