I am seeing a boot regression on one of our Tegra boards with both
mainline and -next. Bisecting is pointing to this commit and reverting
this commit on top of mainline fixes the problem. Unfortunately, there
is not much of a backtrace but what I have captured is below. 

Please note that this is seen on a system that is using NFS to mount
the rootfs and the crash occurs right around the point the rootfs is
mounted.

Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Cheers
