Hmm...strange. (I never see this with 2.6.25 + Primequest) 
What memory model are you using ? CONFIG_SPRASEMEM_VMEMMAP ?

BTW, page_reset_page_cgroup, defined as this
==
#define page_reset_bad_cgroup(page)     ((page)->page_cgroup = 0)
==
Should be
==
#define page_reset_bad_cgroup(page)     ((page)->page_cgroup = 0UL)
==
...I'll write a patch.
