this is due to the kzalloc() here:

0x7884f1d0 is in reg_init (net/tipc/user_reg.c:88).
83              spin_lock_bh(&reg_lock);
84              if (!users) {
85                      users = kzalloc(USER_LIST_SIZE, GFP_ATOMIC);
86                      if (users) {
87                              for (i = 1; i <= MAX_USERID; i++) {
88                                      users[i].next = i - 1;

which does a:

120     static inline void clear_highpage(struct page *page)
121     {
122             void *kaddr = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0);
123             clear_page(kaddr);
124             kunmap_atomic(kaddr, KM_USER0);
125     }

but ... why does the debug code think it's in softirq context?

plus, and this is a slob question i guess, how come we drop into 
clear_highpage() for a kzalloc()??
