Since moving to 4.4 I have had a number of crashes (4 or 5, normally only see
every few months) on my laptop a Dell Inspiron 3500.
There does not seem to be any pattern but this last one was several minutes 
after it had resumed (normally not a problem).  Only thing I was doing was
composing an email message (using vi).

Here is output from dmesg

Following handbook advice on debugging the crash I get limited info:

I do use mount_null (and have since around Jun 30) but these crashes
are only in the last 2-3 weeks.
Does this mean anything to anyone?  Anything else I can do?

thanks
