I think we trigger PF_POISONED_CHECK() in PageSlab(), then fffffffffffffffe
is "accessed" from VM_BUG_ON_PAGE().

It seems to me that we are not initializing struct pages for holes at the node
boundaries because zones are already clamped to exclude those holes.

Can you please try to see if the patch below will produce any useful info:
