Hi Michael,

Success! :-)

I disabled PREEMPT in the kernel config and I removed the spinlock patch 
today. After that I compiled the RC1 again. With 'CONFIG_PREEMPT=n' and 
without the spinlock patch, the RC1 boots on my Qoriq P5020 PowerPC 
board without any problems.

Many thanks for your help. :-)

Cheers,
Christian
