Doesn't look like. I realized that when I thought the machine seems dead, it
is in fact at the xmon prompt, but the display is black. Hitting 'x' makes it
continue.

I've narrowed down the problem by modifying the code like this:

        for ( i = entry->handle, j = 0 ; j < pages ; i += PAGE_SIZE, j++ ) {
                printk("i: %08lx\n", i);
                pgd = pgd_offset_k( i );
                printk("pgd: %08lx\n", pgd);
                pmd = pmd_offset( pgd, i );
                printk("pmd: %08lx\n", pmd);
                pte = pte_offset( pmd, i );
                printk("pte: %08lx\n", pte);

                if (!pte)
                {
                        printk("D'oh!\n");
                        return -ENOMEM;
                }

                entry->pagelist[j]= pte_page( *pte );
                printk("Checkpoint 5\n");
                SetPageReserved( entry->pagelist[j] );
                printk("Checkpoint 6\n");

                if ( j < 16 ) {
                        DRM_DEBUG("0x%08lx (page %lu) => 0x%08lx\n",
                                  i, j,
                                  (unsigned long)entry->pagelist[j]->virtual);
                }
        }


The kernel output is as follows:

So it's not the __vmalloc indeed. I hope this rings any bells...
