The server has 48GB ram, 2GB swap, only about 15GB dedicated to VM guests. I've tried bumping up vm.min_free_kbytes to 262144 to no avail. Nothing strange is getting written to the logs before the crash.

Not on our KVM servers (which don't have any other duties though), which have been running -220.23.1 for three weeks.

Is swap space sufficient?
Have you modified vm.overcommit_* ? Doing so may help turning the panics into allocation failures that can be handled.
Do any slab pools keep growing, to an unusual size?
