It's not enough.
Maybe you have to review your's patches based on mainline.

There are normal caller.
I expected some bogus driver of out-of-mainline uses page directly
without enough review.
Is your kernel working well except this bug?
Do you see same oops call trace(about page-allocator) whenever kernel
panic happens?
I mean if something not page-allocadtor breaks memory, you can see
other symptoms. so we can doubt others(H/W, other subsystem).
