mepc : 0x000000008080a8b8 - call_function_init (kernel/smp.c)

Kernel - 5.17-rc2 + my patches
Qemu - Alistairs next tree + my patches

I do have some out-of-tree patches but that shouldn't be an issue as I
am able to boot without your patches.
Commenting the *_boot_alternatives at both the places works fine as well.

I am currently debugging it and will let you know if I find the root cause.
