 This is a very atypical trap. If you were running -CURRENT it'd indicate a
 bug, but the location of the trap isn't around any sort of privilieged
 instruction which leads me to believe you have a hardware issue.
 
 To check, can you please load this dump back into gdb and run:
 
 disass 0xffffffff8040d5ea
 
 This will print a disassembly of the function at that point. Please post
 the output of the first screen or so. That may help us identify what the
 faulting instruction was. If that instruction can't throw that type of
 exception then we can eliminate a software bug.

 This is additionally scary, as it looks like there is bad bugs in the ACPI
 tables in the BIOS.
 
 If you haven't already, please upgrade the BIOS on your system to the
 latest, and verify that the memory installed in the system is the type
 specified by the board vendor.
