Yes, indeed. You mean this part?

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at c0804358
IP: [<c057e38d>] schedule+0x1ed/0x850
*pde = 3780e163 *pte = 00804162

kernel/sched_stats.h:164
kernel/sched_stats.h:236
kernel/sched_stats.h:242
kernel/sched.c:4191

(Keep in mind that the line numbers are for v2.6.26.)

Looks to be this line (kernel/sched.c):

                sched_info_switch(prev, next);

or for kernel/sched_stats.h:164:

        unsigned long long now = task_rq(t)->clock, delta = 0;

..I'm not sure how much information this is?

Most likely the task_struct just got corrupted, like for the xstate
crashes... Should I still try the patch? :-)
