Hi,

One host failed to boot while merge going on,

[ 13.076303] module: overflow in relocation type 10 val ffffffffa0060e58
[ 13.076338] module: overflow in relocation type 10 val ffffffffa01ac96b
[ 13.076340] module: `scsi_transport_sas' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel
[ 13.181517] module: `pps_core' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel
[ 13.212405] module: overflow in relocation type 10 val ffffffffa004c278
[ 13.244297] module: `fjes' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel
[ 13.294340] module: overflow in relocation type 10 val ffffffffa003be58
[ 13.294348] module: overflow in relocation type 10 val ffffffffa0082797
[ 13.294350] module: `nd_pmem' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel

[ 13.433976] module: overflow in relocation type 10 val ffffffffa0095c8e
[ 13.466011] module: `drm' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel

then wait to mount rootfs or other tasks like forever.
