From Michael Cree:
"Bisection lead to commit b38d08f3181c ("percpu: restructure
locking") as being the cause of lockups at initial boot on
the kernel built for generic Alpha.
On a suggestion by Tejun Heo that:
So, the only thing I can think of is that it's calling
spin_unlock_irq() while irq handling isn't set up yet.
Can you please try the followings?
1. Convert all spin_[un]lock_irq() to
spin_lock_irqsave/unlock_irqrestore()."

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
