Only for the record, the problem has nothing to do with the OOM patch.

You got an Oops while reading jiffies.

Could you run:

grep c01c2b40 System.map

You should get as output:

jiffies D jiffies

The possible cause of this problem are:

o hardware bug
o some buggy device driver changed the kernel pagetables by mistake

So my suggestion is to try to identify an "interesting" device driver or
changing replacing CPU/memory (or avoid overclocking if you was
overclocked :). I hope it's easily reproducible.

Your report was great btw :).
