Ingo,

I added the below patch on top of my previous pull request. If you run
this on the box that failed, it should give us a little more info.

Thanks!

    x86/jump lables: Show where and what was wrong on errors
    
    When modifying text sections for jump labels, a paranoid check is
    performed. If the check fails, the system "bugs". But why it failed
    is not shown.
    
    The BUG_ON()s in the jump label update code is replaced with bug_at(ip).
    This is a function that will show what pointer failed, and what was
    at the location of the failure that made jump label panic.
