Tested with mem=800m, problem still occurs. Additional test was done 
without device-mapper in place, though, and I could not reproduce the 
problem! I copied > 500MB of stuff to the XFS filesystem created using 
the entire /dev/md/0 device without a single unusual message. I then 
unmounted the filesystem and used pvcreate/vgcreate/lvcreate to make a 
3G volume on the array, made an XFS filesystem on it, mounted it, and 
tried copying data over. The oops message came back.

I'm copying this message to linux-lvm; the original oops message is 
repeated below for the benefit of those list readers. I've got one more 
round of testing to do (after the array resyncs itself), which is to try 
a filesystem other than XFS.
