Subject: Crash in v2.6.30-rc3 (regression from 30-rc2)

Hi All,

 FYI: I am seeing this when moving from 30-rc2 to 30-rc3 on a 4-way
x86_64 box.

I have since reverted back to rc2, but can easily spin up the new kernel
again to decode more info or try a fix, if desired.

One data point I do have is that the box seemed to have booted when I
forgot to add console=ttyS0 to the kernel args.  I suspect the serial
console is just changing timing, but its 100% reproducible in this setup.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
