I couldn't find any processes that looked to use a lot of address space, so
I switched to single user mode (kills most everything...) and ran pstree and
/proc/memstat:

init-+-bdflush
|-init---bash---pstree
|-keventd
|-kjournald
|-ksoftirqd_CPU0
|-kswapd
|-kupdated
|-lockd
|-mdrecoveryd
`-rpciod

I'll test without preempt and see if it shows up again. It took a day
before though, so...
