Thanks, Andi - that was indeed the problem. Of course, things like
this are never solved until asked about on a mailing list :)

HIGHMEM4G rather than HIGHMEM64G (not sure why I had that marked),
no PAE, and I was using the 64-bit memory/IO (EXPERIMENTAL). Now it's
off. A side effect was CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 disappearing from the
.config, which I thought might have also been part of the problem
based on that other thread.

Either way, thanks for the response!
