Ok, from looking at the code, when KSM inits, it starts the ksm kernel
thread and it looks like your oops comes from the function that is run
in the kernel thread - ksm_scan_thread.

So even if you disable it from sysfs, it runs at least once.

Let's add some more people to Cc and see what happens :).
