actually it's very serious, something is scribbling all over your
memory, it's just a matter of time before that overwrites something
important on your filesystem, and then you have a high risk of losing
most of your data.

However, since  you're using 2 proprietary kernel modules, you really
ought to contact the vendors for those modules for support; they're a
very likely cause for problems
(for example, these two are the cause for the number 1, 2, 5 and 7 of
the top 10 kernel oopses/crashes for the last week)
