I should mention that I ran a similar bisect yesterday but it led to a dead
end:

# bad: [9ee47476d6734c9deb9ae9ab05d963302f6b6150] Merge branch 'radix-tree' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/xfsdev

All the bad kernels above boot EXTREMELY slowly and it's not clear why. Using
the results above to run your tests produced the following:

Bisecting: a merge base must be tested
[45d7f32c7a43cbb9592886d38190e379e2eb2226] Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile
git bisect bad 45d7f32c7a43cbb9592886d38190e379e2eb2226
The merge base 45d7f32c7a43cbb9592886d38190e379e2eb2226 is bad.
This means the bug has been fixed between 45d7f32c7a43cbb9592886d38190e379e2eb2226 and [da5cabf80e2433131bf0ed8993abc0f7ea618c73].

As mentioned in the first mail, c584c5107bfd97e2aa41c798e3b213bcdd4eae7
seems to be good but 45d7f32c7a43cbb9592886d38190e379e2eb2226 does
not...

Any ideas?

OK.
