Neat, however checking out the same kernel tree at "db1003a x86/numachip: Cleanup Numachip support", building with the same config (though with GCC 5.2.1), it boots just peachy with the same args.

The patch itself is conservative, so I can't see how it could cause early boot hangs. Have you seen this kind of issue before, or is this the first time?

Thanks!
Daniel
