You may want to see if reverting the last patch in my series makes the
problem go away, as a data point.

It's the trickiest change, as it changes the PMD layout completely.

If the problem persists, the next point to check is where the huge
page size gets adjusted to 8MB from 4MB.  Try reverted to just before
that change and test again.  That's the other major possible source of
errors.

Thanks.
