Adding linux-mm and Mel as an author of compaction in particular to CC...
It seems that while traversing struct page structures, we entered into a new
huge page (note that RBX is 0xffffea0001c00000 - just the beginning of
a huge page) and oopsed on PageBuddy test (_mapcount is at offset 0x18 in
struct page). It might be useful if you provide disassembly of
isolate_freepages_block() function in your kernel so that we can guess more
from other register contents...
