I posted a patch a while back to try to track down these dcache errors
-- the problem is that the oops occurs long after whatever operation
caused the problem.

Can this patch be permanently integrated into the kernel, either under a
#ifdef or perhaps even all the time, if the performance hit isn't too bad?

There's a precedence for doing this sort of thing --- for example, the
process tree verification code.
