Hi Sean,

Thanks for tracking this down. Can we try reverting this in pieces to see
exactly what the cause was?

1) Revert arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S
2) If that doesn't fix it, Try removing the 8 lines which were added to
arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S

I assume this is CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n?

Thanks,
Rusty.
