We really ought to improve this message.  If nothing else, it should
say whether it was a read, a write, or an instruction fetch.

Too lazy to manually decode this right now, but I don't think it matters.

Note this is SMP, but that just means CONFIG_SMP=y.  Vegard, how many
CPUs does your kernel think you have?

RAX points to kernel text.

  2b:    3e ff 80 98 01 00 00     incl   %ds:*0x198(%rax)        <--
trapping instruction

That's very strange.  I think this is:

atomic_inc((atomic_t *)&class->ops);

but my kernel contains:

    3cb4:       f0 ff 80 98 01 00 00    lock incl 0x198(%rax)

So your kernel has been smp-alternatived.  That 3e comes from
alternatives_smp_unlock.  If you're running on SMP with UP
alternatives, things will break.

What's your kernel command line?  Can we have your entire kernel log from boot?

Adding Borislav, since he's the guru for this code.
