I'm seeing a similar thing on PS3, but not in ext3. During early userspace
setup (udevd), it crashes accessing a 0xc00* address in:

| NIP setup+0x20/0x130
| LR copy_user_page+0x18/0x6c
| Call trace:
| do_wp_page+0x5b4/0x89c
| do_page_fault+0x3a8/0x58c
| handle_page_fault+0x20/0x5c

I have CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y. If I disable it, the system boots fine.

If needed, I can probably bisect this tomorrow. It definitely didn't happen in
2.6.29-rc5.

With kind regards,
