The issue seems to have started with v4.4.148.
Can you test if a backport of upstream commit d367cef0a7f0 ("x86/mm/pat: Fix boot crash when 1GB pages are not supported by the CPU") fixes the problem ? It doesn't apply cleanly, but the conflict is easy to resolve.
We also may have to reapply commit 87e2bd898d3a ("x86/mm/pat: Ensure cpa->pfn only contains page frame numbers") and fix whatever problems it had.
I've applied these 2 patches on top of v4.4.152:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/gtucker/linux/commits/linux-4.4.152-bisect-atom...
Then I've run the tests using these 2 commits, but they both still failed to boot on that platform:

For the record, here's the same test with v4.4.147 that works:
http://lava.streamtester.net/scheduler/job/145547
Let me know if you have other fixes to apply, I can take another look at some point next week.
Roland Dreier is working on a more comprehensive series. I copied you on the thread. Looks like I missed an entire sequence of EFI related patches in the backport.
Does anyone know if qemu supports EFI ?
