Yes , I use an clean build , remove any other files in /boot && /lib/modules before installing the new build kernel.
I've asked Thomas before I send this to lkml and to you and he said :
..
It's a real issue. netconsole calls disable_irq() which might sleep from an interrupt and preemption disabled context.

Though, what's weird is that the e1000_netpoll() does not longer call disable_irq(). It calls disable_hardirq().
That got changed in commit 3111912971251 which got into Linus tree during the 4.10 merge window. So it is in 4.10-rc8.
Confused.
