4.1-rc1 fails with O3 optimization

[Andev]

Hello Newbies,

I usually compile my kernel with an unsupported O3 option(why not? :).
Today after running the latest 4.1-rc1 kernel with O3, I got a boot
failure. This is the first time this has happened for me.

If someone is interested in debugging this, please read on.

Can you try to reproduce this bug? If yes, can you also bisect this? I
am a bit swamped right now and can try to reproduce this only on
Wednesday. If you are interested, apply the following patch, compile
and see if the kernel boots. Thanks!
