Your initial report said:

kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000b2cb
kernel: IP: [<c0198266>] __rmqueue+0x98/0x36c


However, the backtraces you posted later (with DEBUG_LIST=y) always
contained:


------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:51 list_del+0x41/0x60()
Hardware name: MacBook3,1
list_del corruption. next->prev should be c1b71018, but was 00005095


Not being a kernel hacker, this "list_del corruption" looks kinda weird. At
one point[0] it was suggested to reproduce this with an untainted
(ndiswrapper?) kernel; on other occurences[1] some code surgery was indeed
needed.

I'm afraid I can't help here though, just thinking out loud...

Christian.
