Already done this one too (I've read it from your conversations with a
Peter guy if I'm not mistaken).

It just stops with no panic messages right after the mentioned checking
part, which made me dig after timers (bogomips calibration should be
next I believe). But I've gotten nowhere so far...

Also, there's no -no-kernel-irqchip parameter, must have been a typo for
-no-kvm-irqchip.
