It came as part of 39b8d5254246ac56342b72f812255c8f7a74dca9 which is a
patch amalgated from several other patches.  Below is the original patch
it came with.  I think the idea of the patch is valid but the idea needs a
bit of mending.

Subject: [PATCH] Skip raw backtrace for non KSEG stack addresses
 This is to avoid recursive stackdumps as the kernel kernel falls off
 of the user stack.
