Something else.

Although it might be related, since DaveJ reports that there are some
weird bootup issues that come and go:

"Fedora rawhide kernel stopped booting for a bunch of people, all with
686-SMP boxes. I saw it myself too, it hung just after the 'write
protecting kernel rodata'.

It totally puzzled me for a day. The following day, I rebased to
rc4-git4, and the problem "went away". Nothing in the changesets
merged could explain the hangs I saw.

A few days ago, the exact same bug resurfaced, and like before, the
following day, it went into hiding again."

I don't know a whole lot more.
