Excluding the x86/xen-64bit topic solves the problem.

It triggered on two 64-bit machines so it seems readily reproducible with that config.

i've pushed the failing tree out to tip/tmp.xen-64bit.Tue_Jul__1_10_55
The patch to fix this is on tip/x86/unify-setup: "x86: setup_arch() && early_ioremap_init()". Logically that patch should probably be in the xen64 branch, since it's only meaningful with the early_ioremap unification.
ah, indeed - it was missing from tip/master due to:

because that change needed the other changes from xen-64bit.

will retry tomorrow.

ok, i've re-added x86/xen-64bit and it's looking good in testing so far.

Great. I'm hoping this stuff will be OK for the next merge, so I'm primed for fast turnaround bugfixes ;)

Also, I have the series of followup patches to actually implement 64-bit Xen which have much less impact on the non-Xen parts of the tree. I'll probably mail them out later today.

Thanks,
   J
