It wasn't enabled yet, I didn't expect it to lock up so soon, but even if,
we would have to wait for those rare occurances where the kernel oopses
without the box locking up (can take months).

And I need an XFS that doesn't oops and takes the box with it to deliver
that :)

In any case, I am confident it will happen sooner or later.

I will then not send any kernel oopses, although I had hoped that 0-ptr
dereferences in a specific part of a function could have been a good hint.
