Subject: crash in kmem_cache_init


Current linus tree crashes in kmem_cache_init, as shown below. The
system is a 8cpu 2.2GHz POWER5 system, model 9117-570, with 4GB ram.
Firmware is 240_332, 2.6.23 boots ok with the same config.

There is a series of mm related patches in 2.6.24-rc1:
commit 04231b3002ac53f8a64a7bd142fde3fa4b6808c6 seems to break it,
