BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000108

I wonder if this is somehow related to bug 532047.

@Maane:

After the system crashes, does it come back, meaning that you get back to the login screen? If so, does everything work fine from that point on?

Sometimes I manage to get to the login screen and from there keep the system
running.
But more often the crash is total and a reboot is the only way to get going
again.
