This one crashes all of my x86-64 test boxes early during boot.

The Linus' tree is not affected.

Failing configs:
http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/debug/next/20080717/HPC_nx6325-config
http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/debug/next/20080717/M3A32-MVP-config

It's not very likely that I'll be able to bisect this issue before OLS, so most
probably I won't be testing linux-next in the next several days.

Thanks,
Rafael
