I see a differernt problem, but this could be related:

INIT: version 2.86 booting
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

I'm running a bit old debian [1] with qemu-img-sparc.

My bisect pointed at commit 8c8f3156dd40 ("sparc32: mm: Reduce
allocation size for PMD and PTE tables"). The commit ID is valid for
next-20200522.

If I revert this commit and fixup the page table initialization [2] I've
broken, the build with CONFIG_SMP=n works fine, but the build with
CONFIG_SMP=y does not work even if I add nosmp to the kernel command
line.
