Ander is bisecting this problem.

OTOH, I am looking into test history and found the head commit is booting pass.
The problem report I have sent is a head-1 test report.

This means that, current Linus master boot pass.

Do you see any relation of top fix commit vs the report I sent.

BAD: 965181d7ef7e (head -1 )
GOOD: d888c83fcec75194a8 ( head)

    fs: fix fd table size alignment properly

    Jason Donenfeld reports that my commit 1c24a186398f ("fs: fd tables have
    to be multiples of BITS_PER_LONG") doesn't work, and the reason is an
    embarrassing brown-paper-bag bug.

    Yes, we want to align the number of fds to BITS_PER_LONG, and yes, the
    reason they might not be aligned is because the incoming 'max_fd'
    argument might not be aligned.

    But aligining the argument - while simple - will cause a "infinitely
    big" maxfd (eg NR_OPEN_MAX) to just overflow to zero.  Which most
    definitely isn't what we want either.

    The obvious fix was always just to do the alignment last, but I had
    moved it earlier just to make the patch smaller and the code look
    simpler.  Duh.  It certainly made _me_ look simple.

    Fixes: 1c24a186398f ("fs: fd tables have to be multiples of BITS_PER_LONG")
