If you want to experience what it is like to be the first person to ever do something, might I suggest turning on all the debug knobs on an Android vendor kernel? Some speculative fixes over here, but there is still at least one other RCU bug on boot, and this use-after-free in the usb controller driver:

I guess I should try to find out where to report bugs for these (predictably) not upstream drivers, but that seems like a total pain.
