Hi all,

My boot tests last night produced this during boot:

And it never recovers.  Sometimes during the bisection run, it was a
different process - but it was the same backtrace.

Bisection lead me to this:

d4fdcb2068eef29c03d6027aa219fa60171c6b87 is first bad commit
commit d4fdcb2068eef29c03d6027aa219fa60171c6b87
Author: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu May 21 16:00:59 2009 -0400

    fs: i_flags and i_state in struct inode only need to be unsigned short
    
    Currently i_flags and i_state do not need to be an unsigned int and an
    unsigned long, respectively.  (We currently use 9 i_flags bits, and 8
    i_state bits.)  Changing them to be an unsigned short saves 4 bytes
    per inode on an x86 platform, and 8 bytes on an x86_64 platform.

Reverting that commit from next-20090609 gets me a bootable kernel.

The machines are PowerPC64 (so big endian).  It looks to me like we use
bitops on i_state - don't our bitops only apply to unsigned longs?
