This is on PAE, so you're in far deeper trouble than I could have caused:
pgd_cache = kmem_cache_create("pgd", PTRS_PER_PGD*sizeof(pgd_t), 0, SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN | SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN, pgd_ctor, PTRS_PER_PMD == 1 ? pgd_dtor : NULL);
You've applied mingo's patch, which needs to check for PAE in certain places like the above. Backing out highpmd didn't make this easier, it just gave you performance problems because now all your pmd's are stuck on node 0 and another side-effect of those changes is that you're now pounding pgd_lock on 16x+ boxen. You could back out the preconstruction altogether, if you're hellbent on backing out everyone else's patches until your code has nothing to merge against.
