A git bisect between 2.6.36 (working) and Linus tip (traceback) points to:

e6484930d7c73d324bccda7d43d131088da697b9 net: allocate tx queues in
register_netdevice

as causing this. I'm not entirely sure why yet, but the commit
message seems slightly off to me. It claims to make TX queue
allocation identical to RX, but from what I can tell, most of the RX
queue logic is hidden behind CONFIG_RPS, which is not set in my config
at all (and can't be due to a dep on CONFIG_SMP). This change doesn't
guard anything behind that.

A few hints would be appreciated.
