Subject: Re: [PATCH, -v3] compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto'
 miscompilation bug

Ingo,

After adding more test runs to these kernels, we can see that the boot hangs
happen both before/after patch. So the patch is fine.

btw, the boot hangs all happen in one of the test boxes, which is
probably misconfigured or not reliable.

Thanks,
Fengguang
