Here is what I currently get:

next-20200522:
	All builds/tests crash
next-20200522 plus upstream commit 0cfc8a8d70dc ("sparc32: fix page table traversal in srmmu_nocache_init()"):
	nosmp images (sparc32_defconfig) boot fine
	smp images (sparc32_defconfig+SMP) crash with "BUG: Bad page state"
next-20200522 plus 0cfc8a8d70dc plus memblock_add() from below:
	smp images crash with spinlock recursion as above
next-20200522 plus 0cfc8a8d70dc plus revert of 8c8f3156dd40:
	smp images crash with "BUG: Bad page state"
next-20200522 plus 0cfc8a8d70dc plus revert of 8c8f3156dd40 plus memblock_add():
	All builds/tests pass

This is with my root file system. I tried the debian image but I seem to be
missing some command line option needed to make it work.
