Well, I started with a clean 2.6.18 tree, and did a 'quilt push origin.patch'
to put just the stuff already in Linus's tree on.  Unfortunately, *that*
dies a *different* horrid death after 2 to 5 minutes or so of uptime (and
this one is also a locked-up-hard power-cycle hang, no alt-sysrq).  Of the
3 or 4 times I triggered it, it managed to scribble the oops down into
syslog before totally wedging:

Now the question arises - is this the same bug I was seeing under the full -mm2,
and all the other patches just move the manifestation around, or is this fixed
by another -mm2 patch, and my original bug report is something else?

I may have to learn how to use 'git bisect' to shoot this one, it appears.
