Though I do get:
BUG: at arch/i386/kernel/sched-clock.c:167 init_sched_clock()
[<c0109012>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x30
[<c01095c7>] show_trace+0x12/0x14
[<c010965b>] dump_stack+0x16/0x18
[<c0465f51>] init_sched_clock+0x82/0xa8
[<c045e547>] init+0x14b/0x241
[<c0108bf7>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
=======================
which suggests that its being initialized too late.
