The problem is that OOM doesn't SetPageOffline.  The only things that
do are hypervisor guest drivers.  So we've got a random bit being
cleared, and either that's a stray write which happens to land in
the struct page in question, or it's bad hardware.  Since it's a
single bit that's being cleared, bad hardware is the most likely
explanation, but it's not impossible for there to be a bug that's
doing this.  The problem is that it could be almost anything ...
