I'm fairly confident that in your case, unlike Jay's, memtest86 will soon show you're suffering from bad memory. Those swap_free warnings suggest single-bit and double-bit memory errors; which are likely to be responsible for all the rest of your symptoms. It's natural that such errors will sometimes appear as swap_free warnings and sometimes as rmap.c BUGs. Increasingly it seems that the rmap.c BUG is quite a good indicator of bad memory (though not necessarily so). But it concerns me that we don't see nearly so many swap_free warnings, which should be nearly as common if bad memory were the sole cause.
