I found at least one bug.  The changing of task->stack from a "void *" to an
"unsigned long *":

> -	void *stack;
> +	unsigned long *stack;

That subtly changes the pointer arithmetic in do_boot_cpu():


	idle->thread.sp = (unsigned long) (((struct pt_regs *)
			  (THREAD_SIZE +  task_stack_page(idle))) - 1);


That ends up adding 128k to the stack page bottom instead of 16k.

But fixing that doesn't seem to fix this:

So there's at least another bug lurking..
