No, for some reason my other box doesn't want to boot your config (no
root found). But I noticed that my first box fails on tip/master with
just my min-config. I ran the bisect and hit this as the bad commit:

          This will mount devtmpfs at /dev if the kernel mounts the root
          filesystem. It will not affect initramfs based mounting.


When I reverted this, my machine booted. I'm now trying that machine
again with your allyesconfig.

Is there other strange things in tip/master that I should be aware
about?

Again, do you see these errors when just booting my branch directly?
(not merging the branch into another branch).

Hmm, your right. It depends on dyn_ftrace to be configured. Strange that
my tests didn't catch that as I thought one of my tests compiles with
static ftrace. I'll have to look into why my test didn't catch that.
I'll send a fix later today.
