Hi Paul,

some more data:

I tried with mipsel64, using malta_defconfig from 4.2-rc4 as starting point.
Same failure. All releases from 3.2 up to 4.2-rc4 pass the test, linux-next
as of today fails.

Here is the log:

http://server.roeck-us.net:8010/builders/qemu-mipsel64-next/builds/0/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio

I pushed the initramfs, configuration, and test script into rootfs/mipsel64
of https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test.
