From Michael Cree:
"Bisection lead to commit
b38d08f3181c ("percpu: restructure
locking") as being the cause of lockups at initial boot on
the kernel built for generic Alpha.
On a suggestion by Tejun Heo that:
So, the only thing I can think of is that it's calling
spin_unlock_irq() while irq handling isn't set up yet.
Can you please try the followings?
1. Convert all spin_[un]lock_irq() to
spin_lock_irqsave/unlock_irqrestore()."
