So with the script we are able to re-create the panic on one of our
systems. Which is good because I was not yet able to extract anything
from the uploaded dump (using makedumpfile to convert from kdump_flat
format seems to fail finding an end marker).

Generally from the data seen so far all point to a race between
disabling a qeth device and accessing debugfs. Since tear down of
network device structures is handled asynchronously there is a chance
that this might be racing with the access to debug data. This is
something that is generally known to upstream but did not receive that
much attention either. Access to debugfs should be rather limited to, as
its name indicates, debug use.

In that light, the question is whether this really should be treated
release critical. Trying to get this race free might turn into a bigger
task and at the same time should not be something any customer should
run into during normal operation.
