David saw this late last week on a 2.6.7 kernel compiled for UP,
and I reproduced it yesterday using the current linux-ia64-2.5
BK bits. I'm using a zx6000 with serial console (VGA also
present, but unused). No MCA records. I collected info from
an INIT, but haven't had a chance to look very far. Something
in the error records pointed to efi_memmap_walk(), so I added
a printk there, and the problem disappeared.

David mentioned the linker in Debian/testing as a possibility.
I'm using ld 2.14.90.0.7 from Debian binutils 2.14.90.0.7-3.
