I am for kmemleak :) but I'm not sure it's kmemleak's fault here.

I don't really see how kmemleak could cause such error (or any of the recent changes I have made). It looks like some of the code in the .init.text section is not executable.
If you still have the vmlinux around, could you please run:
addr2line -i -f -e vmlinux ffffffff818b232b
The code shown shown in the oops message is also a bit weird (all 0xcc). Maybe you could do an objdump -d in that area, see if it looks like sane asm code.
Thanks.
