I just filed this in the Redhat bugzilla, since its from the FC6 distro kernel. But since its fairly close to current kernel.org kernels, I thought it might be relevent.

The bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208488

Unfortunately this isn't a very useful report since it was a once-off, and there's a P-tainting module in there. But if anyone sees anything else like this, it's interesting.

The oops is:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 756e6547

756e6547 -> uneG.   Matches "GenuineIntel".

That'll get written into a temporary page by the /proc/cpuinfo handler, so
it might just be a use-uninitialised.

But strangely enough, it's the second report we've seen with this exact backtrace, and the same "Genu" ascii string where the i_default_acl should be.

Both boxes had been through a suspend-to-ram recently, just in case that might matter.

Seems like something more than random chance...
