Sorry I should have been more verbose in what the bisection process was, I
found the problem after attempting to upgrade from linux v3.16 to v4.9. When
v4.9 hung I tried the latest kernel, v5.0, which also hanged. I began a git
bisect, but found there was more than one bad commit. Here is my current
understanding:

- [x] v3.18 vanilla, 1302fcf0d03e committed, hangs
- [x] v3.18 with revert of 1302fcf0d03e, works
.
.
.
- [x] v4.12 vanilla, hangs
- [x] v4.12 with revert of 1302fcf0d03e, works

- [x] v4.13 vanilla, 1c3c5eab1715 committed, hangs
- [x] v4.13 with revert of 1302fcf0d03e, hangs
- [x] v4.13 with revert of 1c3c5eab1715, hangs
- [x] v4.13 with revert of 1302fcf0d03e & 1c3c5eab1715, works

- [x] v5.0 vanilla, hangs
- [x] v5.0 with revert of 1302fcf0d03e & 1c3c5eab1715, works

Hang occurs after PCI is initialized, snippet below, I have included the full
output in the bug report:
