Well, crap. Can you enable CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP and send the dmesg
because it would be good to know how things are mapped before this
patch.
I'd be surprised if the issue you're seeing is related to the one that
Alexis reported. Having corrupt page table structures is a whole new
bag of scary.
Does $(grep pdpe1gb /proc/cpuinfo) show any output on your machine?
