A boot failure on Exynos5/Arndale showed up in next-20131014[1], and a
subsequent bisect has fingered this patch as the culprit.  

I haven't had a chance to debug this any further, but wanted to share in
case someone else can debug.  

The console log is below, but don't think there is much useful there as
it shows nothing after the 'Starting kernel ...' from u-boot.
