Curious. This just broke.
i386 allmodconfig:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/p4.o: In function `smp_thermal_interrupt':
Changes to the block core in mainline have destroyed this driver. This was
hitherto not known because I was unable to carry git-block in -mm
because it blithely tromped all over other people's code.
I'll disable the memstick driver in config for now. Please send fixes?

With current mainline I'm getting intermittent hangs here:

with this config:
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/config-sony.txt
on the Vaio. Sometimes it boots (then hits another different hang),
sometimes it gets stuck there.
