Right, you mentioned reusing INT $9 upthread. That doesn't have the additional info in the immed8 - it is the vector in this case. But that's not really important for our usage. In any case, the hw does react to it when I do "int $9" so I guess we could look into using that one. [ 93.668930] test: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. [ 93.674785] Starting test.
