I can recreate it without NAPI and without the preemptable kernel, but I have no means of recreating this with out Reiser4. Would an oops without the NAPI and preemptable kernel be more useful than the one I already provided? If so I can make another oops. I spoke with Nikita shortly on OFTC and he said the oops "is not related to reiser4, at least not directly. Maybe reiser4 corrupted some internal data-structures some where in the kernel which caused oops later." Shrug.
