I applied the two revert patches to 5.15.7 (the last one won't apply
so I skipped it) and the resulting x86 32-bit kernel boots fine here
on the Thinkpad X1E that was having issues previously.
Then I tested an unpatched 5.16-rc4, which (as expected) got the boot
hang on the affected machine. Applied the three patches, and the
resulting kernel boots fine.
Take care,
Pat
