I have several oopses that are garbled.  Part of the problem is that
page fault code (x86: arch/i386/mm/fault.c) does not attempt to
serialize the "Unable to handle kernel ... at virtual address ..."
messages, since it's considered better to get _some_ messages out
than no messages.  (and serialize it with what?)

However, after untwisting these, I can tell you that unraveling
them is not fun.

Can these be cleaned up in any reasonable way?
Any suggestions?

This is on 2.5.68 and 2.5.69.
