Yep, a sparc64 bug, I'll push this to Linus shortly...

commit 2506be0657c7bd1befdb616fb0e86d87c6a288cd

    [SPARC64]: Fix memory corruption in pci_4u_free_consistent().
    
    The second argument to free_npages() was being incorrectly
    calculated, which would thus access far past the end of the
    arena->map[] bitmap.
