With the help of serial console I now know the problem is... insufficient memory for malloc(). Great, I thought I would be doing something different than usual for Hackweek, and here I am.

@vbabka @pavel it's sort of heroic and shit to support these museum pieces, but it's a constant pain in the arse for work on heavily-in-use arches which actually really need a constantly moving kernel.

If people can maintain this stuff, they can do it outside of mainline and make whatever compromises they want.

I think it's just absolutely unfair for core kernel devs to be expected to do the work.
