Given the stack for the initial report, why would a config other than 
enabling CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE help if there's no ifdefs involved?

This is happening in the for_each_possible_cpu() loop within 
dma_channel_rebalance(), which makes sense since the machine boots fine 
normally but not with `nosmp'.

channel_table[] is not being initialized per-cpu for non-online cpus?
