What's weird is that that's really just the same WARN that's also 
present in 'successful' logs, except for some reason it's behaving as if 
the break handler hasn't been registered, despite that having happened 
long before we got to smp_init(). At this point we're also still some 
way off getting as far as initcalls, so I'm not sure that the clock 
driver would be in the picture at all yet.

Is the bisection repeatable, or is this just random flakiness misleading 
things? I'd also note that you need pretty horrifically broken firmware 
to hit that warning in the first place, which might cast a bit of doubt 
over the trustworthiness of that board altogether.
