I got that on system shutdown (x86-64, 1 CPU):
Thanks. ipv6 died. I think shemminger had a recent problem with ipv6 too?
I don't think there were any core networking changes in -mm3 which weren't
in linus-at-that-time.

That crash is already fixed in Linus' latest tree by this patch:

[IPV6]: Avoid calling ip6_xmit() with NULL sk
The ip6_xmit() function now assumes that its sk argument is non-NULL,
which isn't currently true when TCPv6 code is sending RST or ACK
packets. This fixes that code to use a socket of its own for sending
such packets, as TCPv4 does. (Thanks Andi for the pointer).
