Instead of that, I applied this patch on top of linux-next and it boots
and produces a stack trace ...

Subject: [PATCH] mm/memblock.c: use dump_stack() instead of WARN_ON_ONCE for
the alignment checks
Using WARN_ON_ONCE too early causes the PowerPC kernel to fail.

2.18.0
So, patch "memblock: stop using implicit alignment to SMP_CACHE_BYTES"
should *not* remove the 0 -> SMP_CACHE_BYTES update from mm/memblock.c
and just add the dump_stack().
