I've found the same, but in this case, the double-page-fault only 
exhibited itself on x86 (note the past tense). :-)  Phil fixed this is 
his putback this morning.  It turns out that I accidentally merged-out a 
change he'd made to os/startup.c to explicitly modload() the "dev" module 
in startup_modules().  Phil can probably give you details regarding why 
this omission leads to a double-page-fault (and why the "dev" module 
needs to be loaded in startup_modules()), but he noticed that this was 
missing from the Clearview gate after we did an IP Observability code 
walkthrough yesterday.
