Just to make sure this doesn't get lost: This patch causes the kernel to not boot on several x86_64 VMs of mine (I haven't tested it on a bare metal machine). For details and a kernel config to reproduce the issue, see https://lore.kernel.org/stable/fd186a2b-0c62-4942-bed3-a27d72930310@hardfalc...
Based on your XML description, I have extracted the command line below, to boot a kernel built from the config you provided (but not using the arch build scripts). I am using the same x86 initramfs I use for all my boot testing, but that shouldn't make a difference here.
Both your 'working' and 'broken' kernels work fine for me, both with and without OVMF firmware, so I'm a bit stuck here. Could you please try to reproduce using the command line below?
