Have you tried it on tip/master + tip/core/rcu? make oldconfig works 
fine with that here.

But ... here's something you wont like: just to make sure i sent you 
the right config [i made mistakes there in the past] i picked a 
64-bit system (a different one from the one that triggered the 
crash), built the config with latest tip/master (80c161b, using gcc 
4.3.2) plus tip/core/rcu (06e7997) git-merged in:

  git checkout -b tmp tip/master
  git merge tip/core/rcu

and booted it - and that did not produce any lockups. So you might 
not be able to reproduce it :-/ I've re-merged core/rcu into 
tip/master, maybe my tests can find another config that reproduces 
the crash better. Please disregard this bugreport until i've found 
that one.
