Then booting with qemu-system-s390x (tried both distro's 4.2.1 and locally built 8.0.3) and the initrd you provided (tried passing it compressed and uncompressed), but I'm always getting a kernel panic due to not finding a rootfs:

Ah sorry about that, I forgot about that issue because I handled it
during my bisect and all the manual reproduction/verification I have
been doing in this thread has been against Andrew's -mm tree, which does
not have that problem. Apply this patch on top of next-20230726 and
everything should work...
