Yup, goodie. It does look like it might be exactly the same thing,
except now the offset seems to be 0x1e68 instead of 0x1768.
It was 0x1748 in Eric's case. Background for Michal:

I have seen that thread but I didn't think it is related. I thought
this is an another anon_vma issue. But you seem to be right that the
offset pattern can be related.
Michal - if you can re-create this, it would be wonderful if you can
enable CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. I didn't find any obvious candidates
yet.
OK. I have just booted with the same kernel and the config turned on.
Let's see if I am able to reproduce.

Btw.
$ objdump -d ./vmlinux-2.6.38-rc4-00001-g07409af-vmscan-test | grep 0x1e68

didn't print out anything. Do you have any other way to find out the
structure?
