Hi Aneesh, I noticed when trying out 4.7-rc3 on qemu-2.5 that the kernel no longer boots. 4.6 booted just fine, so I bisected the kernel to the commit 30bda41aba4efb2370c97e2cbe7385de93ccc372, which is "powerpc/mm: Drop WIMG in favour of new constants". The changelog suggests that the KVM changes need closer review, and here's an actual crash:
(I can send libvirt's machine xml, .config, and full dmesg if that helps.) --Darrick dmesg from the crash looks like: [ 0.474264] mm: Hashing failure !
