FYI, crash was fixed upstream a few weeks ago:

  commit 8ceb1ac628bf6a0a7f0bbfff030ec93081bca4cd
  Author: Dave Anderson <anderson at redhat.com>
  Date:   Mon May 23 11:23:01 2016 -0400

    Fix for Linux commit 0139aa7b7fa12ceef095d99dc36606a5b10ab83a, which
    renamed the page._count member to page._refcount.  Without the patch,
    certain "kmem" commands fail with the "kmem: invalid structure member
    offset: page_count".
