I can reproduce semi-reliably (by kernel standards) corruption in
kmalloc-2048. No idea if this can explain all "struct file" related
oopses I saw, or SLUB free pointer corruption Pekka and Christoph are
looking into.

8139too and atl1 drivers are in use. 8139too connects to outer world,
atl1 -- to laptop collecting netconsole logs. However, I never managed to
collect late oopses with netconsole even if init scripts which are
shutting down interfaces are disabled. :-(
