Was not able to bisect yet since the nightly tests were running but one
of our boards caught the following running an ARM 32-bit kernel. The
same board did not reproduce that warning a second time around, I will
keep an eye on it. Other than that, everything went well.

There are no change to RCU, scheduler or kthreads but we do make SMC
calls for SCMI (power management) so my guess would be that "ARM:
9075/1: kernel: Fix interrupted SMC calls" would trigger that. We have
15 other boards that run the same configuration but did not catch that.
