BTW, is it genuine that a protection fault is generated instead of a page
fault while dereferencing address 0x00008805d6b087f8? I would normally
except a page fault from a memory dereference that doesn't alter
processor state/segments.

The other GFP happened in pmdp_clear_flush_notify inside
collapse_huge_page.
