Nope, most of it was a lab config in my lab.

One of the patches I requested for stable added a reserved memory region
which conflicted with how my lab was loading the initrd, causing all of
those meson-* failures in my lab.

As Mark pointed out, a subsequent linux-4.14.y build booted fine on all
those boards.

The lab-free-electrons failures aren't now, and they (now Cc'd) are looking into
those (I hope.)
