exit_mmap() BUG_ON triggering since 3.1

We've had three reports against the Fedora kernel recently where
a process exits, and we're tripping up the

BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes > (FIRST_USER_ADDRESS+PMD_SIZE-1)>>PMD_SHIFT);

in exit_mmap()

It started happening with 3.1, but still occurs on 3.2
(no 3.3rc reports yet, but it's not getting much testing).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786632
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787527
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790546

I don't see anything special in common between the loaded modules.

anyone?
