Actually, in that patch that did this:

- pgd = pgd_offset(current->active_mm, address);
+ pgd = (pgd_t *)__va(read_cr3()) + pgd_index(address);

make the code do:

pgd = (pgd_t *)__va(read_cr3()) + pgd_index(address);
WARN_ON(pdg != pgd_offset(current->active_mm, address));

and now you should get a nice backtrace for exactly when it happens,
but it's on a working kernel, so nothing will lock up.

Hmm?

And leave it running for a while, and see if the trace is always the
same, or if there are variations on it...

Thanks,

Linus
