Jason, now that commit is merged into Linus' tree and showing up in
various other development trees that base on v3.6-rc1.

kernel boots reliably freeze on:
[    4.527958] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 10240k
[    4.529326] debug: unmapping init memory ffff880001522000..ffff880001600000
[    4.530566] debug: unmapping init memory ffff880001829000..ffff880001a00000
[    4.549375] KGDB: BP remove failed: ffffffff81035be9

The freeze will disappear if removing CONFIG_KGDB*. It will change
into this oops if reverting the commit (either doing it on v3.6-rc1,
or by checking out 3751d3e85c~1):
