Same note here from -rc3. For me it was enough to revert
6d7d0ae51574943bf571d269da3243257a2d15db.

I was struggling with some of my own configs that didn't boot on Nokia
N900 and config differences between working one and not working looked
like a random.

E.g. if one config had CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y, it didn't boot but booted
if CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y was also enabled and so forth.
CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA=y either didn't make it booting. But revert made
those unworking configs booting.
