So just to confirm: both plain 6.4 _and_ with that revert hangs?

The revert is pure "go back to old state", so the revert really
shouldn't cause any problems what-so-ever.

So if rc4 doesn't boot for you, and the revert also didn't fix it for
you, then there is something else going on.

There have been other module changes during the merge window, and
obviously it might be entirely unrelated to modules too. Can you try
to narrow down when it started failing?
