Hi Nick,

Thanks for your answer. I checked out the commit b1c5356e873c~1 (HEAD is 
now at d923ff258423 KVM: MIPS/MMU: Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier 
callbacks).
The kernel boots with '-smp 4' without any problems.
After that I patched with the probable first bad commit (KVM: PPC: 
Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier callbacks). The kernel also boots 
with this patch. That means, this isn't the first bad commit.

Cheers,
Christian

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your answer. I checked out the commit b1c5356e873c~1 (HEAD is 
now at d923ff258423 KVM: MIPS/MMU: Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier 
callbacks).
The kernel boots with '-smp 4' without any problems.
After that I patched with the probable first bad commit (KVM: PPC: 
Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier callbacks). The kernel also boots 
with this patch. That means, this isn't the first bad commit.
