Subject: Boot failure on Arndale with next-20131105

Hi,

We are having a boot-time kernel panic on Samsung's Exynos5250-based
Arndale board with next-20131105. Bisect points to following commit.

<<<
commit febca1baea1cfe2d7a0271385d89b03d5fb34f94
Author: Chris Mason <chris.mason@...ionio.com>

    block: setup bi_vcnt on clones

    commit 9fc6286f347d changed the cloning code to make clones cheaper for
    the case where we don't need to clone the iovec array.  But,
    the new clone needs the bi_vnct from the original.

Reverting above commit, Arndale is able to boot again.

Excerpts from the boot log (just in case, it helps in debugging).

Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done.
Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
   - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT!  /dev/mmcblk1p3 does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!
