Badness at arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:202

comes when smp_call_function_map() has been called with irqs disabled,
which is illegal. However, there is a special case, the panic() codepath,
when we do not want to warn about this -- warning at that time is pointless
anyway, and only serves to scroll away the *real* cause of the panic and
distracts from the real bug.

BTW arch/ppc/ has same issue, but that's gonna be removed by next year
anyways, so I think there's no point making a patch for that (?)
