The ARM kernel developers tend to use linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org
rather than the ordinary lkml.  However, since you're apparently running a
kernel provided by Debian, you should send the bug report to Debian first.

FWIW, I've run self-compiled kernels on Qnap TS-119 and TS-119P+ for years
under very heavy CPU and local file system loads, and they've always been
extremely solid.  It's possible that your networking/samba load is triggering
something bad.

Also I'd strongly recommend building the kernel with gcc-4.6.3, lots of bugs
have been fixed since the now obsolete and unsupported gcc-4.3.
