Hrm. I just build the tip of your tree and bootet it. It hangs at:

[    4.788678] ACPI: 4 ACPI AML tables successfully acquired and loaded
[    4.793860] ACPI: [Firmware Bug]: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
[    4.821476] ACPI: Dynamic OEM Table Load:

That's way after the secondary CPUs have been brought up. tip/master boots
without problems with the same config. Let me try x86/asm alone and also a
revert of the CR4/CR0 stuff.

And while writing this the softlockup detector muttered:
