 With both suggested patches by Antti Kantee, the problem went away.
 Unfortunately, I can't confirm that it was because of the patches,
 as an unpatched kernel now stays up, too.
 
 So, either the offending NFS client went away, or the patch fixed the 
 problematic state causing the panics. I've left an unpatched kernel 
 running, in case I can reproduce the error state, and at least 
 statistically show that the patched kernel fixes the problem whenever it 
 occurs.
 
 That is, until you guys have analytically found the problem in the code
 and fixed it there. :) Again, thanks for looking into this with such short 
 notice!
 
 I'll let you know, if the situation changes, if this PR is still open at 
 that time. If you think you've fixed it properly in the tree and close 
 this PR, I'd be happy to just update my sources and continue tracking 
 -current and file another PR (or request this opened or whatever) if 
 needed.
 
 
 Thanks,
  	Artsi
