Probably because your devel box and the 0day bot both have 4-level page
tables and the dual-core i5 in my laptop has (presumably) 3?

In any case, your patch didn't fix things, nor did (as you noted in a mail
to Ingo) does reverting the problem commit (and then the following one that
deletes now-dead code so it will compile cleanly).

8G of memory, 2 4G dimms.  .config attached.  Anything that would help
from /proc or /sys?
