We had also some other issues with older versions, so we upgraded to
2015.1 hoping the gateways will run stable.

Did you build own kernels with disabled smp?

We are running 3.16 and partially upgraded to 4.1 for testing purposes.
But we have some "general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP" unrelated to
batman also on the gateways - with different hardware. For the record,
a KVM gateway (the other ones are dedicated servers without
virtualization) does not crash.
