garbled oopsen

I have several oopses that are garbled. Part of the problem is that
page fault code (x86: arch/i386/mm/fault.c) does not attempt to
serialize the "Unable to handle kernel ... at virtual address ..."
messages, since it's considered better to get _some_ messages out
than no messages. (and serialize it with what?)

However, after untwisting these, I can tell you that unraveling
them is not fun.

Can these be cleaned up in any reasonable way?
Any suggestions?

This is on 2.5.68 and 2.5.69.

(sample 1)

(sample 2)

which decodes into:
