I've left it running over night but no GPFs happened... Usually they happened within two hours or so. I would think that your patch fixes it and I did not actually apply it last time (or did not rebuild kernel). But I saw the new warnings that the patch adds, so I should have been rebuilt it... What I saw is a dozen of pairs of warnings like the one below. Is it possible the warning printing introduces enough delay to close the inconsistency window?....
