Ingo, in the absense of further complaints, could you please push to the x86 tree?
yeah, i've added them.
the patches cause a spontaneous reboot on x86 64-bit, around the time when bootup hits user-space. It's due to one of the 25 patches from you today. Config attached.
likely caused by this patch:

  Subject: unify non-paravirt parts of desc.h

_please_ be more careful when unifying. Do check the before/after vmlinux - the binary size at least. And watch out for compiler warnings as well:

 arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c: In function 'read_32bit_tls':
 arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c:454: warning: passing argument 1 of 'get_desc_base' from incompatible pointer type

I saw this warning, and this was fixed in the patch that follows. But yeah, I could have done a separate one, to avoid it. Do you have any other reason to believe this is the cause?

that is bisection-unfriendly - every patch has to work.
I know, and I'm sorry. I thought it was not that bad, by being just a warning due to a type cast. ;-)
(famous last words, I know)

My box booted fine with the changes, but I'm re-verifying, and will send and update soon.

please try the config i sent - does that boot fine on your box?
No, it doesn't. I'll bisect it, and send an updated series, with your 3 concerns addressed.
