Actually kernel continued to boot, however it panics just before (or maybe
after) mounting rootfs... I've booted it with boot_delay to take photos.

Here is panic stacktrace:

warn_on_slowpath
stop_this_cpu
printk
show_trace
stop_this_cpu
print_oops_end_marker
clocksource_get_next
getnstimeofday
send_IPI_mask_bitmask
tick_do_broadcast
tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast
timer_interrupt
handle_IRQ_event
handle_edge_irq
do_IRQ
....

Here are screenshots:

your patch

I'm using linux-2.6-x86.git as suggested by Glauber
