I find it odd that commit would be the cause of a kernel freeze that early
in boot. But I did try to do a git log between your last known good
commit and bad commit. The output was just the bad commit.

[dzickus@ihatethathostname upstream]$ git log --oneline
93736624635235cc5372ffca6d62816d02170724..e40b17208b6805be50ffe891878662b6076206b9
e40b172 x86: Move notify_die from nmi.c to traps.c
[dzickus@ihatethathostname upstream]$

Though a git log on the bad commit showed other commits I thought would
have popped out before the intersection with the good commit.

Just for my sanity could you do a 'git revert
e40b17208b6805be50ffe891878662b6076206b9' and try that kernel. I would
think it would still fail, but if it does boot then I need to do some
serious head scratching.

Cheers,
Don
