Reverting the offending patch ('Add basic validations ...') fixes the problem.

There is a twist: The final kernel hangs during boot. Some of the interim
builds crash. I did not try to track down where it stops crashing and starts
hanging.

Adding Dave for additional input. I suspect there may be some missing patch,
but no idea where to even start looking.
