Don't expect anyone to decode the OOPs but one thing that may cause problems is the
preempt patch and the stock NVidia driver. I think spinlocks get noop'ed in a standard
kernel build but the SMP builds and the preempt builds have non-trivial spinlocks.
You might have a chance to run the SMP NVidia driver with the preempt patch. or you
may have to wait until the NVidia people build against a kernel with the preempt patch.
The nvnews site has a forum for the NVidia driver and you might try this report there.

The other question would be why did the oops not list the kernel as tainted?
