It looks like pti_init() is too early for
change_page_attr()/set_memory_nonglobal() because they look for
irqs_off().  This *should* be OK in practice because we only need to
flush the boot CPU, not the others.  That's what ends up causing the
BUG_ON().

But, there's apparently something else going on too because things don't
boot even with that BUG_ON() backed out.

The good news is that its easy to reproduce.
