Using Linus' tree from this morning, I am hitting:

   [    0.000000] BUG: failure at 
./arch/arm64/include/asm/arch_timer.h:112/arch_counter_get_cntpct!

This is triggered by commit 0b46b8a718 ("clocksource: arch_timer: Fix
code to use physical timers when requested") which addresses an armv7
problem. Arm64 wants to always use a virtual timer. I used this to avoid
the BUG and get a booting kernel:
