Subject: Bug in 3.15-rc1: Scheduling while atomic splats filling log

On kernel 3.15-rc1, I get log entries for scheduling while atomic. These BUG 
splats are repeated many times, and start early in the boot. I tried to bisect 
this problem, but the bug does not always show on every boot, and I must have 
had a faulty kernel boot without error. In any case, I ended up at a merge pull. 
What I can definitively report is that a kernel generated from commit fd1df00 is 
bad.

Fortunately, I have retained the kernels from the bisection onward, and I will 
retry them to see if I reported any of them incorrectly. As far as I know, the 
configuration was unchanged during the bisection.

The logged messages are as follows:
