Configuration is multi_v7_defconfig with various additional options enabled.
You'll find it attached.

qemu invocation:

qemu-system-arm -M raspi2 -kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage -no-reboot
    -initrd  /var/cache/buildbot/arm/rootfs-armv7a.cpio
    --append "panic=-1 slub_debug=FZPUA rdinit=/sbin/init earlycon=pl011,0x3f201000 console=ttyAMA0"
    -dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm2836-rpi-2-b.dtb -nographic -monitor null -serial stdio

initrd is from:
    https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/blob/master/rootfs/arm/rootfs-armv7a.cpio.gz

Without your patch, boot always stalls at:

[   10.197299] PCI: CLS 0 bytes, default 64

[   10.581294] hw perfevents: enabled with armv7_cortex_a7 PMU driver, 5 counters available

With your patch applied, it proceeds:
