Szymon (cc'd) reported this oops that prevents his machine booting
a 3.3.4 kernel.

His partition tables don't look anything out of the ordinary to me.

Any ideas what's going wrong here ?
original report at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=819624,
though all pertinent info so far is captured above.

6d1d8050b4bc8 "block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct"
added part_unpack_uuid() which assumes that the passed in buffer has
enough space for sprintfing "%pU" - 37 characters including '\0'.
Unfortunately, b5af921ec0233 "init: add support for root devices
specified by partition UUID" supplied 33 bytes buffer to the function
leading to the following panic with stackprotector enabled.

Increase the buffer size, remove the dangerous part_unpack_uuid() and
use snprintf() directly from printk_all_partitions().

Ooops, thanks Tejun, applied for current branch.
