Would it be possible to narrow down it a bit which commit causes the boot 
slowdown?

 known bad : 11c476f31a0f: net,rcu: convert call_rcu(prl_entry_destroy_rcu) to kfree
 known good: 0ee5623f9a6e: Linux 2.6.39-rc6

There's 76 commits inbetween so an about 6-step bisection ought to be able to 
narrow the source of regression down quite a bit ...

The complication with that bisection will be the need to revert the other 
broken commit you found:

 e59fb3120bec: rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof

Which is unfortunately very early in the series, so you'd have to revert this 
at almost every step of the bisection ...

Thanks,

	Ingo
