.. and immediately as I wrote that, I went "Duh".

One place I missed was free_thread_info(), which should now free the
stack, not the ti pointer. But it does

        struct page *page = virt_to_page(ti);

and frees that, which is bogus. It turns out that we do do

        free_thread_info(tsk->stack);

which is bogus too, and undoes it, but I think I have a few new places
to look at..
