I had a strange config (for real time) .. All the new options turned
off, and classic RCU .. However, a regular PREEMPT_RT kernel booted
fine. The classic RCU made it easy to spot this since the preempt count
goes negative.
I was wondering what kind of side effects would happen with the
preemptible RCU ..

This looks a little like what Rui Nuno Capela is seeing , but his kernel
hangs.
