Have you attached a (2.6.31.x) dmesg output from the failing box

The log from failing on 2.6.32.5 was linked to originally:
http://rtr.ca/2.6.32_page_alloc_fail_logs.txt
Here's the subsequent revert reboot back to 2.6.32.12:
http://rtr.ca/2.6.31.12_ok_logs.txt
In the time available thus far, I haven't managed to get 2.6.32.5
to boot/run on anything else, using either a UP kernel, or "nosmp",
along with "mem=512M".
With a bit of luck, I'll have another similar VIA C7 box delivered here
by tonight,
and should be able to boot/run that off a cloned disk image from the
original system.
Then we can poke at things a bit more.
If the box works, it will be 100% at our disposal.
Note that it's far too slow for practical direct use of git-bisect,
taking hours to rebuild its own kernels. It might be possible,
with a fair bit of effort, to arrange a quad-core box to do the
kernel compiles for it, though.
..
Rather than wasting time trying to bisect a full major kernel revision,
I think instead I'll just focus on mm/page_alloc.c.
It appears the biggest changes were to get_page_from_freelist(),
so perhaps we'll just revert that one function and see how the
clone system behaves.
In the meanwhile, here's the diff -u of the two .config files:
