x86 boot issues in -next

[Mark Brown]

Hi,

For the past few days -next has been failing to boot an x86_64 defconfig
on the x86 machine Linaro has available in their lab.  DMI says it's a
"Dell Inc. PowerEdge R200/0TY019, BIOS 1.4.3 05/15/2009" and the CPU is
described as "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3220  @ 2.40GHz (family: 0x6, model:
0xf, stepping: 0xb)", it's running happily with mainline and
pending-fixes.

The kernel crashes with:

I bisected this, the bisect seemed to run smoothly and landed on commit
f031242dbf22 ("Merge branch into tip/master: 'x86/apic'") with both
parents being fine (full log below) - an issue in the x86 tree does seem
plausible but I haven't investigated further.
