If you disable the logical processors in the BIOS, this problem should go away.
We ended up reverting to 4-STABLE for other reasons.
Thanks for your answer.
The problem is still there, unfortunately.
Crashes no more on pagedaemon though, for a change, but on irq48:em0...
Would you have KVA_PAGES / maxvnodes recommendation for this case ?
Was your answer based on painful trial-and-error, or is there a logical reason (known bad HTT or PAE or Xeon support) ?
Should I revert to 4-STABLE to get solid PAE+SMP support ?

We had KVA_PAGES=768. It's now at KVA_PAGES=672 to give us the right balance between KVM & usable process size.
We spent a few (4 hours) trying to get 5-STABLE to work properly.
It would reliably crash when running make -j 4 buildworld.
When we disabled the logical processors in the BIOS, make -j 4 buildworld would succeed.
Also, we disabled the USB subsystem in the BIOS. I don't know whether you have already. It looks like you haven't from your first post. This is advisable.
In any case, we reverted to 4-STABLE. We needed the patches posted to this list to enable us to use PAE + amr driver.
Since reverting it has been completely stable. (And very very fast:-)
I didn't post anything to the list regarding our problems, because we weren't able to get a crashdump.
