zImage.prep built from head of Linus' tree fails to boot with the error
below.

Looks like QEMU is trying to run from empty ram.  'x/32 0x8acd80' shows
nothing but zeros.  Anybody else seen this?

Isolated down to somewhere in about 50 commits using bisect
(intermediate steps don't compile):  A bunch of ppc/ppc64 merge stuff
went in between.

Did you do a parallel make (make -jN)?  There is a problem currently
with parallel makes where it can try to use the vmlinux.gz before it's
been fully generated.  Try deleting vmlinux and do a single-threaded
make and see if that fixes it.

Paul.

Nope, no flags to make whatsoever
