Hi,
I couldn't find the exact mail corresponding to the patch merged in v4.16-rc5 but commit 864b75f9d6b01 "mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock alignment" cause boot hang on my ARM64 platform.
I have also noticed this problem on hi6220 Hikey - arm64.
LKFT: linux-next: Hikey boot failed linux-next-20180308 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3676

This makes me wonder whether a -stable backport is really needed...
For some machines it definitely is. Won't hurt either, IMHO.

Hmm, does it step back perhaps?
Can you check if below cures the boot hang?

After applying this patch on linux-next the boot hang problem resolved. Now the hi6220-hikey is booting successfully. Thank you.
