OK, I gave it some more testing and compiled the kernel wit UP and 
TINY_RCU again and with your patch applied to -rc6 I could not reproduce 
the issue any more. Plain -rc6 still has the OOM problem.

Again, thanks so much for staying with me and guiding me through all the 
debug steps. And all your effort fixing such a rare setup. I hope more 
people will share the joy :-)

Christian.
