I now have a patch from upstream [0] that I've tested and can confirm fixes this. Attached here for now. Awaiting details to access to kernel.ubuntu.com so we can setup a PS3/cell tree to push to for review.

The other option we have is to change the following config options. See [1] for explanation:

  CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n
  CONFIG_FB_PS3_DEFAULT_SIZE_M=9
  CONFIG_PS3_USE_LPAR_ADDR=n

I've not tested these settings yet, and I'm still exploring what the side effects would be if any. May recommend to the kernel team that we move back to a ps3 specific custom kernel flavour.
