Note that I hit a similar looking crash (sorry, I couldn't capture a
backtrace back then) on a PowerMac G5 (ppc64) while doing a large rsync
transfer yesterday with -rc2-something (cfcfc9ec) and 
Christian Kujau (CC) seems to be able to reproduce something similar on
some other ppc platform (Christian, what is your setup ?)

We haven't hit the poison checks, more like bad pointer derefs, almost
always in SLUB coming from skb alloc or free.

In my case, it's not easy to reproduce, so a bisection would be
error-prone.

Cheers,
Ben.
