So this rather painful and compiler-errorful bisection session ended up at:
commit 3d6392cfbd7dc11f23058e3493683afab4ac13a3

bsg: support for full generic block layer SG v3
What is happening is that my old dual-PIII IDE-PIIX box running
hacked-about FC1 is locking up early in initscripts, just after "Finding
module dependencies".
Config is http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/config-vmm.txt with CONFIG_SCSI=n.
Occasionally I'll get an NMI watchdog timeout, but it's a rather
uninteresting one: the stack trace just points up into the idle task.

fixes it.
