True story, the fact that this value is not what it is expected to be
judging from the code it happens might actually be a clue:

[64112.502507] Code: 8b bf b0 00 00 00 31 ed 48 8d 50 f0 48 85 c0 48 0f 45 ea 48 85 ff 74 10 48 89 ee e8 8d d3 ff ff 85 c0 0f 8e c5 00 00 00 48 89 eb <49> 8b bd b8 00 00 00 48 85 ff 74 10 48 89 ee e8 6e d3 ff ff 85

and %r13 contains 00000000019129c0 in the register snapshot. Hmm...

That'll help. Also let me make sure: Is this a vanilla kernel or are
there any distribution patches on top of it? I see it says 2.6.34-gentoo
but just in case. If it is not a vanilla kernel please try a vanilla one
from kernel.org.

Also, please send the whole dmesg of the system, there might be
something suspicious there and also the output of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'
and 'dmidecode', the last one run as root.

Thanks.
