Subject: [BUG] khugepaged crashes on x86_32

Running ktest.pl overnight using a x86_32 kernel, it crashed several
times at the same location:

It's happening in this loop:

static void __collapse_huge_page_copy(pte_t *pte, struct page *page,
				      struct vm_area_struct *vma,
				      unsigned long address,
				      spinlock_t *ptl)
{
	pte_t *_pte;
	for (_pte = pte; _pte < pte+HPAGE_PMD_NR; _pte++) {
		pte_t pteval = *_pte;
		struct page *src_page;


The fault (according to gdb) is at the:

		pte_t pteval = *_pte;

Attached is one of the configs I used to produce this bug.

I hit this bug with both v2.6.38-rc1 and with

HEAD == 12fcdba1b7ae8b25696433f420b775aeb556d89b

Let me know if you need to know anything more.
