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.
