qemu sparc64 runtime crashes in -next

[Guenter Roeck]

Hi,

my sparc qemu tests started failing with next-20170613.
Log output is not very helpful:

Unhandled Exception 0x0000000000000028
PC = 0x00000000004620f4 NPC = 0x00000000004620f8
Stopping execution

It looks like 0x00000000004620f4 is in init_tick_ops().

Bisect points to commit 'sparc64: improve modularity tick options'.
Bisect log is attached.

No idea if this is a qemu problem. If you think it is, anything to help
tracking it down would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Guenter
