I'm wondering if this is a microcode bug, since I have one of the new 
Skylake CPUs (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz; stepping: 3; 
microcode: 0x6a) and others have mentioned crashes in 
__lll_unlock_elision related to broken CPUs/BIOSes, though for older 
generations.
Anyway, here's the output and backtrace:
