>Description:
The SMEP exception when the kernel jumps through a NULL pointer is nice,
but the ddb trace it ends up with misses the topmost stack frame, so it is
mostly useless for driver developement/kernel debugging.
>How-To-Repeat:
Make the kernel jump via a NULL function pointer, watch the db backtrace
afterwards and wonder where the jump really happens.
>Fix:
n/a
