Juan Quintela's patch fixes the lockup. shm paging locked up on the
page lock.
Now I can give more data about pre7-8. After a short run I can say the
following:
The machine seems to be stable, but VM is mainly unbalanced:
[root@ls3016 /root]# vmstat 5
procs memory swap io system cpu
r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id

So we are swapping out with lots of free memory and killing random
processes. The machine also becomes quite unresponsive compared to
pre4 on the same tests.
