i'm testing on multiple systems in parallel, each is running randconfig 
kernels. One 64-bit system found a build bug, the other one found a boot 
crash.

This can happen if certain configs build fine (but crash), certain 
configs dont even build. Each system does a random walk of the config 
space.

I've applied your two fixes and i'm re-testing.
