Subject: WARNING in vmap_page_range on alpha since 2.6.28

Hi! 

I've stumbled across this WARNING: when booting 2.6.28 + patch
on my alpha. This happens consistently (i.e. on every boot) and
keeps happening while the machine is booted:

------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at mm/vmalloc.c:104 vmap_page_range+0x1b8/0x320()

---[ end trace 9863e03dd539368c ]---

Here's a full dmesg:
http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/kernel/2.6.28/alpha/dmesg_post_boot.txt

Note that it happens again later in the same dmesg. The messages
always mention page allocation at the top of the trace.

The patch mentioned above is commit
1684f5ddd4c0c754f52c78eaa2c5c69ad09fb18c which fixes compilation
on alpha (see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12289)
The patch I used is here:
http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/kernel/2.6.28/alpha/pci.patch

Here's my config:
http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/kernel/2.6.28/alpha/config.txt
shortened by grep ^C:
http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/kernel/2.6.28/alpha/config-shortened.txt

The normal console output (catched via serial console) is here:
http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/kernel/2.6.28/alpha/console_output.txt

The machine in question is a Samsung UP1500. CPU is EV68AL on an
ALI chipset (ali15x3). 

Last kernel to work perfectly is a vanilla 2.6.27.10.

Before I dig into a rather time-consuming bisect, I'd like to
hear informed opinions :)

Regards & TIA,
Tobias
