This crash seems similar to the one reported by brainatwork on Oct 22 for 4.7.9. We're running 4.7.10 with 201610262029. Here's the crash report (copied by hand from a photograph of the screen):

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000000304

This happened after several days of normal operation. I have no idea if it's related to PAX/GRSEC.
