Can you give me a clue as to which line needs the one-liner ... although
it builds cleanly for IA64 it panics with a dereference NULL fault. It
looks like we were in the list_add_tail(&data->list, &dst->list) code.

Console log looks like this:

ACPI: Core revision 20070126
Boot processor id 0x0/0xc018
Fixed BSP b0 value from CPU 1
