[    0.786159] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at mm/memory.c:2269 __apply_to_page_range+0x537/0x9c0

Hmm, I wonder if that's WARN_ON_ONCE(pmd_bad(*pmd))), which would be
odd. I don't know x86 asm well enough to see what the *pmd value would
be there.

I'll try to reproduce and work out what's going on.

Thanks,
Nick
