AHA!  origpte being 0xd0d0d0d0 means that something really came unstuck
because that is the fill pattern that userland malloc(3) uses.  The
4MB page thing is a red herring, it just happens that PG_PS (0x80) is
a set bit in the fill pattern.

Now to find the source. :-(  Are you getting this repeatably?  If somebody
is able to (relatively) easily provoke this, there are a few things I'd
like to try (shotgun diagnostics, but its better than nothing).

Cheers,
-Peter
