After collecting all those, I turned on CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM and the

Can you check with mem=900 (and CONFIG_HIGHMEM_DEBUG=n)? That will confirm that the problems are highmem related, but not physical address truncation related.

Do you mean 800M? ;) Highmem begins at 896MB if I remember correctly.

Anyway, it still oopses on current git with mem=800M


Stumped.  Please post .config, will try to reproduce.

I was seeing messages like this

[  428.918108] kvm_handle_exit: unexpected, valid vectoring info and exit 
reason is 0x9

And quite a few of them, like 100,000/sec.  That's why klogd was pegging
the CPU.  Any idea on a next debugging step?

That's a task switch.  Newer kvms handle them.

Newer userspace?  I'm running current kvm-git userspace as of a day or
two ago.

No, it's kernel code.
