managed to bisect one of the boot crashes i've been seeing:
a698c823e15149941b0f0281527d0c0d1daf2639 is first bad commit commit a698c823e15149941b0f0281527d0c0d1daf2639 Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Tue Jan 13 20:41:35 2009 +0900
x86: make vmlinux_32.lds.S use PERCPU() macro
Make vmlinux_32.lds.S use the generic PERCPU() macro instead of open coding it. This will ease future changes.

testing the revert now.
This might be similar to the other 32-bit linker bug that was tracked down yesterday and reverted - maybe that revert unearthed a problem with this commit?
