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.
