Hi Arjan,
first, highmem is fixed and the original patch you have from me is good. second, Daniel Phillips gave me some feedback into how to figure out the VM error. I am working on it, although just the VM potential -- ReiserFS may be another problem.
third, you may be experiencing problems with a kernel optimized for Athlon. this may or may not be related to the current issues with an Athlon-optimized kernel. Basically, functions in arch/i386/lib/mmx.c seem to need some locking to prevent preemption. I have a basic patch and we are working on a final one.
