I get an ICE here in -BK-latest, which the attached patch fixes (backs 
out Linus's change).

I _also_ get a similar failure, in the exact same place, in 2.6.9 
[release version] which does _not_ have Linus's change in it.  See 
http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/18/230 for the report.

Maybe the moral of the story is that
linux/init.h + linux/compiler.h + asm == boom ?
