OK make sure to poke me with something sharp if I break any of them.
I try to double- and tripletest them on hardware and QEMU alike but
I don't have all variants.

So there is a bug in it! I thought it was only my board.
And yeah, I also suspect the cache, that is my intuitive suspicion
with this kind of random early hangs (I did try to get some earlyprintk
on it but it didn't give anything useful, just hard hang).

I have been rebooting and swearing about that one in my office
everytime it just hangs.
