For v4.9.105-30-ge0f8632 (4.9.106-rc1-00030-ge0f8632):

Build results:
	total: 148 pass: 148 fail: 0
Qemu test results:
	total: 139 pass: 137 fail: 2
Failed tests: 
	mips64:malta_defconfig:nosmp
	mips64:malta_defconfig:smp

Qemu tests fail with:

This architecture does not have kernel memory protection.
random: fast init done
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000a

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000a

While tracking this down, I found commit 4e4636cf981b ("objtool: Enclose
contents of unreachable() macro in a block"), which says "... Guenter Roeck
reported a boot failure in mips64 ...". Go figure. Applying commit
4e4636cf981b on top of v4.9.106-rc1 indeed fixes the problem.
