Turns out this was a result of multiple chained OOM backtraces, which should
never happen. Under normal circumstances, there may be a spurious backtrace in
atomic context, but that needs only approx. 1M backlog buffer, which is covered
by general reserve margins.

In short, no special adjustments are necessary for qxl.
