AFAICS there's no BUG_ON() or panic() in the RCU code, outside 
early init code allocation failure paths where we genuinely 
can't continue.

( Unless it _is_ one of those BUG_ON()s triggering during early 
  resume, reconstructing kernel threads, or the BUG_ON() comes 
  in indirectly via some other way ... )

Dave, one thing that might be worth trying is to disable 
CONFIG_BUG and see whether the system manages to limp through to 
get console output?

Thanks,

	Ingo
