For what it's worth, I have tested Linus's patch on my ARM Chromebook
(which was reproducing the divide by 0 yesterday).  With the patch the
system has no divide by 0 and still boots fine.

Interestingly enough the divide by 0 appeared to happen at probe time
once for each partition of both the internal eMMC and the external SD
card.  Later in the boot sequence the code runs with a non-zero
discard.  I'm not familiar enough with this part of the kernel to
speculate why this system behaves differently than the systems that
Jens tested on.
