as you probably already know this means you ran out of kernel memory.

this is the only thing that catches my eye. but i dunno if 21mb for
80211node is an issue or not. but there is definitely something
leaking kernel memory.

i would try to run vmstat -z on a regular basis (how often depending
on when after a boot the crash happens) to find out what is leaking
memory.
