Sorry, didn't mention that according to ctags, disks is defined only as a 
struct member or as a static variable... clearly neither is valid on a call

The call trace decoder filters out hex values outside _stext - _etext, but 
maybe it also considers valid the FASTCALL page... leading to this 
interesting bogus output :-)

Ok - didn't notice the LKML cc, sorry (it's really late).
