OK, I'll annotate line-by-line.  This is a console from a boot of a kernel
built with HID_COMPAT=n (which works just fine).  I couldn't get a netconsole
of a COMPAT=y boot for other reasons, and it doesn't live long enough to get a
dmesg.

Both kernels are OK here.

The next line would make it to the console in both cases.

The following 3 lines don't go to console by default due to loglevel setting.
So I'm not sure exactly where it hangs. But it's somewhere in here.

This line *should* make it to the console, but doesn't. So the failure is
before this point.

I'll go back and instrument it more heavily so there's more info available.
