Calling it "may fail" is an understatement, for me _every_ 4.9-rc build
I have tried on my x86 32 bit test laptop has had broken module loading
and hence unable to boot. PLEASE fix this in Linus tree before he
releases 4.9, either applying this patch (which I currently apply
separately everytime I upgrade the kernel) or reverting the offending
commit which started the whole mess. It's not cool to keep the build
broken for this long, people have wasted lots of time because of this.
