We have half a dozen or so different machines in CI that are silently
failing to boot, that we believe is bisected to this patch.

17:56              tsa : ickle: dolphin: I hit the following patch in my bisection, and the hang is also dependent on kconfig
17:56              tsa : first bad commit: [d3921cb8be29ce5668c64e23ffdaeec5f8c69399] mm: fix initialization of struct page for holes in
                         memory layout
17:57              tsa : couldn't reproduce on older CI kconfig, current one does it
                         https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gfx-ci/i915-infra/-/blob/master/kconfig/debug

Here's a boot dmesg from some affected machines from just before the merge
with rc5:
