3.4-rc7 until 72c04af is about 3500 changes, we'll need to narrow this down further.
I would first check to make sure that 3.4.0-final doesn't have the problem.
If 3.4.0-final is OK, start bisecting from v3.4.0 until 72c04af. One possibility could be the sparc64 NOBOOTMEM conversion that went into the merge window.
