Re: [BUG][2.6.23-rc6] Badness at arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:202

[Andy Whitcroft]

Anton, this seems a little reminicient of that bug which popped up in
2.6.23-rc3 so do with SLB loading (if memory serves), with machine
checks and signal 7's.  Of course that is _supposed_ to be fixed by this
time ...

I believe it was Paul who fixed up that one, and he is already copied.
