do you mean that with f975237b7682 you _always_ see that illegal RCU
usage warning?

so this is trace_console(text, len) from

	cpuidle_enter_state()
	...
		vprintk_emit()		<< error: Failed to enable monitor mode/CPU 0 failed to disable...
		  console_unlock()
		    call_console_drivers()
		      trace_console()

I need to look more at this.
