Yes, this above build attempt was for an SMP kernel. When I got home,
I tried to build an UP kernel with test11-ac1, and as I'm sure you know
already, it worked perfectly. I then tried to build another SMP kernel, with
the same results as above.

I submitted a tiny patchlet earlier for this. It seems to fix the symptoms.
I compiled and ran a kernel with this patch on the SMP box at work.

I replicated the associated comment for people searching on this pattern.

I'm at home now, please cc any questions or comments to elenstev@mesatop.com.

Here is the patchlet again:
