Yes , I use an clean build , remove any other files in /boot && /lib/modules before installing the new build kernel.

I've asked Thomas before I send this to lkml and to you and he said :

..

It's a real issue. netconsole calls disable_irq() which might sleep from an
interrupt and preemption disabled context.

Though, what's weird is that the e1000_netpoll() does not longer call
disable_irq(). It calls disable_hardirq().

That got changed in commit 3111912971251 which got into Linus tree during
the 4.10 merge window. So it is in 4.10-rc8.

Confused.
