In fact, I would expect it to be related to one (or both) of

DMA mapping address")
Should I try reverting one or both of these?
Yes. From a quick check, they revert cleanly (revert 993ab48006b3
first) and the result seems to compile cleanly too.
I can confirm that the kernel boots with these two reverted.
I have attached the new dmesg output.
Thanks. I guess it's up to Takashi to figure out what exactly goes
wrong, but it's good to have this confirmed. I hope you'll be willing
to test any patches that Takashi comes up with.
And if we can't figure it out, I guess reverting them is the right
thing, but let's wait until at least rc2 is imminent before we do
that.
I am also seeing this, and can confirm that reverting the whole firewire pull fixes it here.
Interestingly, I was seeing the same firewire_ohci/vmap errors during the bisection (with those firewire patches included), but it was only the merge which actually caused the system to not boot (again, with udev seeming to hang).
Feel free to send any patches my way to test.
