I think you're misunderstanding what's happened here.

That disassembles to this:
   0:	0affffa4 	beq	0xfffffe98
   4:	e59d000c 	ldr	r0, [sp, #12]
   8:	e3500000 	cmp	r0, #0
   c:	1a0000a2 	bne	0x29c
  10:	e5993004 	ldr	r3, [r9, #4]

and r9 = 0xbfac6000, which is _not_ the address of a page table.

Unfortunately, the above doesn't tie up with the output from my
compiler, so I've no idea what that corresponds with in
unmap_single_vma().

The other surprising thing about this oops dump is the lack of
backtrace...

I think I need to see the disassembly of this function before
there can be any further diagnosis of what's going on here.
