This patch results in arm64 boot failures. Reverting the patch fixes
the problem. Bisect results are attached. Per logs, the system fails
to instantiate the root device. Examples from two logs:

[   22.843080] nvme nvme0: pci function 0000:00:02.0
[   22.853820] nvme 0000:00:02.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
