So rc2-mm2 panics due to "MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC" and
rc2-mm1 does not.

Could be ACPI, could be x86_64 timer changes, could be something else.

Would you have time to bisect it? 
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt
explains how.

If so, I'd suggest you drill in on the patches between
x86_64-mm-defconfig-update.patch and
optimize-and-simplify-get_cycles_sync.patch: the x86 changes.
