Aha!

I just found Kumar's upstream commit
78f622377f7d31d988db350a43c5689dd5f31876 (which seems to have been
sent to the stable trees as well), which converts loadcam_entry() back
into being an assembly function because it breaks ftrace. I believe
my config has ftrace on, which would explain the problem.
