Hah, I would not describe a "boot crash" as some instability. That's
just outright broken :)
I've not built at tree with the latest of Peter's code yet so I don't
know at this time which line it is BUG()ing on. However, it is *very*
likely that this patch is not a drop-in replacement for your tree
because IIRC, there are differences in how and when we call get_page().
That is the likely source of the snag.
