This patch, as part of the current 2.6.32 stable queue, breaks booting with
an oops very early, before the framebuffer got a chance to initialize
(unfortunately most of it is cut with the unavoidable vga=0, so I didn't
write it down yet), on amd64 and i386 (kernel configs attached). Removing
just this patch from queue-2.6.32 fixes the problem for me; kernel 2.6.33
HEAD doesn't seem to be affected.
