So this looks mostly problem free on my boxen, except this warning triggers:

Adding 3911820k swap on /dev/sda2.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:3911820k 
capability: warning: `dbus-daemon' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

with ancient user-space, running the attached .config.

The system booted up fine otherwise. The warning corresponds to:

        if (WARN(irqs_disabled(), "syscall %ld left IRQs disabled",
                 regs->orig_ax))
                local_irq_enable();

and this was just the regular startup of the distccd daemon during bootup, nothing 
particularly fancy.

Note that 'distccd' is a 32-bit ELF binary - and this is a 64-bit kernel.

Syscall 6 would be:

arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl:6        i386    close                   sys_close

Thanks,
