I saw the text_poke_early crash too, on a Soekris net4501, which uses an
AMD ElanSC520. The problem may or may not apply to other 486-class
hardware (some reports of the bug say it does).
The workaround is to specify noreplace-paravirt on the kernel command line.
If the bug does indeed affect all 486-class CPUs then it would be a good
idea to compile CONFIG_PARAVIRT out of the -486 kernels entirely, at
least until such time as the bug is fixed.
