Sorry, you seem to have run in to a known but so far unfixed problem
that we are actively working on. We have been calling it the bigmem
problem since so far it seems to happen on 32+ gig memory machines. See
CR # 6654713. The symptom in all the related panics is a trashed kernel
page_t structure which leads to various panics depending on what the
page struct damage is.
