Maybe pte_chain is too small to get unmapped (it is 128 bytes here)? Or it is
really hardware bug :-(

CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_IOVIRT=y
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP=y
# CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set
CONFIG_X86_EXTRA_IRQS=y
CONFIG_X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG=y
CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE=y
