It appears we have a smoking gun:

For some reason setup_IO_APIC_IRQS thinks we at least 2 io_apics,
but we have only setup 1 io_apic.  Since io_apics need a kmap entry
accessing an apic that hasn't been setup will definitely give a
page fault.  It sounds like something is stomping nr_ioapics.

From: 2.6.35-debuglog
IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 8, version 17, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23
....
IOAPIC[1]: Set routing entry (0-16 -> 0x51 -> IRQ 16 Mode:1 Active:1)

Can we get your System.map of the failing kernel (so we can see what
is close to nr_ioapics), and could you add a print statement in
arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic:setup_IO_APIC_irqs to print nr_ioapics?

I would be surprised if drm changes could have affected this.
