Ok, that one is fixed now in my tree. Or at least it's turned into a 
warning, so the machine should work.
With an invalid opcode, mine is likely due to stack corruption.
No, invalid opcode is because we use the "ud2" instruction for BUG(), 
which causes an invalid op exception. So any BUG[_ON]() will always cause 
that on x86.
