The board hangs early during boot and the usual way of collecting
early console doesn't seem to work when attempted (I haven't tried
personally).

It's one of the major non-SMP platforms covered by tests. I'd be
surprised if it turns out to be truly _board_ specific (and rather
specific to OMAP3), but we don't have enough data yet. Chances are it
either shuffles some timing around or indeed hits a may_sleep() test
somewhere.

(I just realized I might have missed to attribute Guillaume in the
revert patch. Sorry about that).
