Doesn't boot reliably as an x86-64 kernel on my X2 system, 3/4 times it oopses
horribly. Is there some way to supress an oops flood so I can get a decent
picture of it with vga=extended? Right now I get two useless oopses after the
first (probably useful) one.

The one time I did get it to boot, I get a lockdep problem (possibly already
reported, if so I'm sorry);

mount/1095 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
(&(&ip->i_lock)->mr_lock){----}, at: [<ffffffff80328ef7>]
xfs_ilock+0x67/0xa0

other info that might help us debug this:

I'm also getting the same:

kobject_add failed for 0000:00:0b.0:pcie0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register
things with the same name in the same directory.

..that Reuben reported, multiple times.

Otherwise it's all good.
