Some perf people CC'd as I trigger it while using the perf_fuzzer. This is with 3.14-rc3 on a core2 machine, although I've had the reboots happen throughout at least 3.14-rc* I'm having a hard time coming up with a reproducible test case. Using the random seed that caused the below will cause the perf_fuzzer to segfault but not reboot. The log isn't very helpful, it reboots so fast that the oops doesn't finish printing and the serial log just moves to the bootloader...
