FYI, i've been running rcutorture for days on lots of testboxes ranging 
all across the x86 spectrum from single CPU, through dual-core, to 
dual-socket, dual-socket HT, 8-way and 16-way - both 32-bit and 64-bit 
x86.

Not a single failure has been detected in thousands of bootups of random 
kernels (rcu-preempt + rcutorture was a frequent combination tested). I 
added a WARN_ON() to rcutorture failures so it should show up very 
clearly.

This makes me suspect that it might be some special environment issue - 
gcc for example. I'm using gcc 4.2.2 on most of the testboxes.
