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.

In the meantime, I have blacklisted firewire-ohci (I don't really need firewire), and everything works as expected.
