I found the above patch at fault, Wolfgang gave me a fix which I tested, 
confirmed working and that was going into future -mm releases last I heard. 
I've not had a chance to test -rc5 onwards myself yet due to the Nokia 
whirlwind but I doubt its the above problem.

I have heard comment that recent arm kernels on collie (sa1100) fail to boot 
for unknown reasons. The collie maintainer was looking into it - I only have 
pxa hardware to test with myself (which was working as of the last -rc4-mm 
release).

I'll update with the results of -rc5 on the pxa once I've tested it.

Cheers,

Richard
