It did come through, and I replied ;)

The below post-2.6.23-rc1 patch should fix it.

commit b8c1c5da1520977cb55a358f20fc09567d40cad9

    slab: correctly handle __GFP_ZERO
    
    Use the correct local variable when calling into the page allocator.  Local
    `flags' can have __GFP_ZERO set, which causes us to pass __GFP_ZERO into the
    page allocator, possibly from illegal contexts.  The page allocator will later
    do prep_zero_page()->kmap_atomic(..., KM_USER0) from irq contexts and will
    then go BUG.
