8100 8021 seems to cause random BAD TRAP: type=d (#gp General protection)

The ARC buf data project (known simply as "ABD" since its genesis in the ZoL
community) changes the way the ARC allocates `b_pdata` memory from using linear
`void *` buffers to using scatter/gather lists of fixed-size 1KB chunks. This
improves ZFS's performance by helping to defragment the address space occupied
by the ARC, in particular for cases where compressed ARC is enabled. It could
also ease future work to allocate pages directly from `segkpm` for minimal-
overhead memory allocations, bypassing the `kmem` subsystem.
This is essentially the same change as the one which recently landed in ZFS on
Linux, although they made some platform-specific changes while adapting this
work to their codebase:
1. Implemented the equivalent of the `segkpm` suggestion for future work
mentioned above to bypass issues that they've had with the Linux kernel memory
allocator.
2. Changed the internal representation of the ABD's scatter/gather list so it
could be used to pass I/O directly into Linux block device drivers. (This
feature is not available in the illumos block device interface yet.)

My supermicro system is getting random BAD TRAP: type=d (#gp General
protection) at about the stage where ZFS filesystems are mounted - usually
console login prompt is already present but the services are still starting.
After backing out 8021, the boot is completed and no panics do occur.
Machine does dump, however savecore fails:
savecore: bad magic number baddcafe
I can get more data out with boot -k, if needed.
