Subject: VM Kernel bug with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM

Hi all,

I've found that booting a recent kernel (and as far back as 3.9 at
least) I get a kernel bug during boot with VM debugging enabled.  I
haven't had time to dig further into it, but wanted to check if this is
a known issue?

I am using a versatile express TC2 platform with the following config:
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~cdall/vmbug.config

Here's a dump of the panic:
