The code ends up being

  mov    0x48(%r13),%rsi
  mov    __per_cpu_offset(,%rcx,8),%rcx
  add    (%rsi,%rcx,1),%ebx <-- trapping instruction

which is just the

   sum += *per_cpu_ptr(desc->kstat_irqs, cpu);

part of kstat_irqs().

Your registers being

   RSI: 000060f700000001
   RCX: ffff88087fc00000

and it's RSI that makes no sense - RCX looks like a real kernel
pointer. So it looks like it's the "desc->kstat_irqs" thing that is
for some reason garbage.

I don't see any sane possible reason this would happen, though.
Thomas, does this look like anything you've seen before?
