Yes, based on where the CPU lockups were occurring
(zone_nr_free_pages, zone_watermark_ok), this fix does seem to address
the problem I described.  I assume the other lockup points
(_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore, find_next_bit, sleeping_prematurely,
test_tsk_thread_flag) are also caused by the NR_FREE_PAGES problem?

Thank you for the link, I'll put it into the Fedora bug report and
hopefully a fix will be pushed out sometime soon.
