I recently came upon a scenario where I would get a double fault
machine check exception tiriggered by a kernel module.
However the ensuing crash stacktrace (ksym lookup) was not working
correctly.
Turns out that machine check auto-disables MMU while modules are allocated
in kernel vaddr spapce.
This patch re-enables the MMU before start printing the stacktrace
making stacktracing of modules work upon a fatal exception.
