This commit is now in -next as commit 0475a2d10fc7 ("x86_64: Remove
pointless set_64bit() usage") and I just bisect a boot failure on my
Intel test desktop to it.

Unfortunately, I see no output on the screen it is attached to so I
assume it is happening pretty early during the boot sequence, which will
probably make getting logs somewhat hard. I can provide information
about the system if that would help reveal anything. If there is
anything I can test, I am more than happy to do so.
Cheers,
Nathan
