This seems a long way off from defconfig.  It's entirly possible I'm 
missing something, but at least CONFIG_SOC_VIRT is jumping out as 
something that's disabled in the SUSE config but enabled upstream.  That 
alone shouldn't actually do anything, but it does ensure we have all the 
drivers necessary to boot on QEMU.

It's entierly possible there's a real bug here, though, as I don't 
really see what these relocatable patches would have to do with that.
