Uhhuh.

The page directories should *definitely* always be in cacheable
memory, so it should be ok for that bit to be 0, and it's possible
that setting it to 1 will seriously screw up performance.

But the fact that that fixes it for you does indicate that it's not
just a stale TLB entry or something, it really is some CPU using page
tables after they have been free'd and been re-allocated to something
else (and *then* they may point to garbage).

So I do think it's a sign that we definitely need that IPI for you.
