Attached is the dmesg from patched kernel.

I'm not an expert at debugging the kernel, obviously.  I tried setting
up a serial console before without much luck as part of this debugging
session.  I'll try again when I have some time, but I couldn't get to
the exact message before -- it scrolled by too quickly (and boot_delay
froze the output).
