Copying in Ryan Roberts who's much more likely to have some idea about

It turned out not even to be an mm problem.
Instead the data pages were not zeroed out on allocation.
Given that this issue is very disruptive to userspace it's causing us to
miss huge amounts of test coverage for -next, would it be possible to
drop these patches until we resolve the issue?
This issue and the observed panics should be fixed in v5 of the series:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251106-vdso-sparc64-generic-2-v5-0-97ff2b6542f7@linutronix.de/ (local)

I'll ping tglx directly.
