Hi,

This is fixed for me in v2.6.19

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5085 points to
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/18/68 which is commit
769751f1b920fbd9034a9764443795ce243b547d included in upstream
2.6.19-rc3

It fixes the problem for me. Can you confirm this?

    [PATCH] x86-64: x86_64 add NX mask for PTE entry

        If function change_page_attr_addr calls revert_page to revert
    to original pte value, mk_pte_phys does not mask NX bit. If NX bit
    is set on no NX hardware supported x86_64 machine, there is will
    be RSVD type page fault and system will crash. This patch adds NX
    mask bit for PTE entry.
