Yes, and it should have been in the changelog right away. It's much more useful than the 63 lines of untrimmed backtrace noise, which should be condensed to the real valuable information:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:87 phys_p4d_init+0x1d4/0x1ea RIP: 0010:phys_p4d_init+0x1d4/0x1ea Call Trace: __kernel_physical_mapping_init+0x10a/0x35c kernel_physical_mapping_init+0xe/0x10 init_memory_mapping+0x1aa/0x3b0 init_range_memory_mapping+0xc8/0x116 init_mem_mapping+0x225/0x2eb setup_arch+0x6ff/0xcf5 start_kernel+0x64/0x53b ? copy_bootdata+0x1f/0xce x86_64_start_reservations+0x24/0x26 x86_64_start_kernel+0x8a/0x8d secondary_startup_64+0xb6/0xc0
which causes later:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ff484d019580eff8 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page BAD Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:fill_pud+0x13/0x130 Call Trace: set_pte_vaddr_p4d+0x2e/0x50 set_pte_vaddr+0x6f/0xb0 __native_set_fixmap+0x28/0x40 native_set_fixmap+0x39/0x70 register_lapic_address+0x49/0xb6 early_acpi_boot_init+0xa5/0xde setup_arch+0x944/0xcf5 start_kernel+0x64/0x53b
Hmm?
