Subject: libhugetlbfs causes kernel panic on system x machine

Hi,

With 4G memory available on the system x machine
  Memory: 3975224k/4980736k available (3764k kernel code, 787208k absent, 218304k reserved, 5318k data, 1272k init)

and by using the attached config file on the kernel versions 2.6.36-rc1 and 2.6.36-rc2
- getting the following panic call trace while running libhugetlbfs autotest
