Subject: unable to boot with gcov on x86_64
From: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl>

I'm seeing similar GCOV problems as with 2.6.26-rc5-mm1 that you fixed. 
This is the same x86_64 box and again it was unable to boot with gcov
enabled.  A quick look revealed that arch/x86/kernel/tsc_64.c and
arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.ccode was unified.  Unfortunately simple change of

GCOV_tsc_32.o := n
GCOV_tsc_64.o := n

to

GCOV_tsc.o := n

did not help.  Given the amount of combinations of which set of files with
GCOV might cause failures I was rather fortunate and after a few hours I
was able to pinpoint exactly two files which need GCOV disabled to make my
x86_64 boot.
