Versatile QEMU broken in -next

After some hours trying to boot the -next tree on
Versatile PB in QEMU, I git-bisected until I found
that one of these commits breaks Versatile for QEMU
(it just hangs, following quoting git bisect):

There are only 'skip'ped commits left to test.
The first bad commit could be any of:

We cannot bisect more!

The above cannot be drilled down since these
commits don't compile.

Notice: I have no Versatile board, so I cannot know
if it breaks on the actual hardware. I only know it
breaks in QEMU. I don't know why though.

I guess these all work nicely on a real board, so
I suspect it's a case of "QEMU needs to emulate
better", no real bug on real hardware.

Yours,
