I have look into Frederic's tree but i didn't find any reason that could explain your problem. May be Frederic will have some ideas I have also tested his branch with and without my patch and both kernel are booting (on an ARM platform without using the full_nohz feature ). I have faced a conflict when i have applied my patch on his branch as we insert code at the same place. You should have faced the same conflict. How have you solved it ?
Bingo, that was the problem in my setup: as the patch was applied through a script with others, I had missed the error message about the conflict (I have also another conflict which can be safely ignored so the new one did not catch my eye)... So the patch was only half-applied, and the final code is broken.
How did you solve the conflict (I am not a scheduler expert)? I can retry running the patched kernel with your resolution, to check if everything is ok.
Thanks and sorry for this,
