As a temporary workaround please disable the screen saver code.
I was having the same problems with 4.0 and taking out the saver
module kept my machine from crashing.

As far as the linux emulation...  The same box that i disabled the
screen saver is also running the linux module.  It's still running
it and seems stable, however the linux code itself is not being
used, it's just loaded (i don't have any linux apps to test).

I suggest you check if your kernels are being compiled with
INVARIANTS or something of the likes, kernels compiled with
these options mixed with modules that don't can crash your machine
afaik.
