Well, I did my best, and without too much trouble I managed to sink the
kernel into a grinding halt. No oops, and it still responded to SysRQ,
but nothing else.
This was with v2.4.0-test9-pre8+your patches.
Oh, and I guess this is for you to fix:

page_alloc.c:473: warning: suggest parentheses around comparison in operand of &
