This tree is completely broken on my test box (x86-64 HP nx6325) and I can't
even bisect it. :-(

It hits a NULL pointer dereference in find_symbol during boot, but when I tried
to bisect this issue, I hit another one that made the box hang solid during
boot (early, no messages available).

If things continue going this way, 2.6.27 will be a disaster ...

Thanks,
