Well, if the stack trace is the same:

...

it looks like populate_pgd() fails and unmaps the whole range. You could
add some debug printks to find out exactly why populate_pgd() fails.
Also, please try to catch full dmesg and the whole oops.

Btw, Matt, your whole efi/next stuff is already in tip, right? Because
if so, Linn could simply test latest tip/master.

Thanks.
