It seems the old version of this patch is still used (at least in
next-202650716, 15ce1d7c4ddfe0dff00fcaee4ccaeef3efbc62c6), which means
asid is not initialised here. We instead have:

This means that patch 2 of this series will use the uninitialised asid
for local_svinval_vma() and I get the same behaviour as before (hang on
initramfs). If I revert the two patches of this series which are in next
and apply this again it's fine.
