Yep, sorry.
When I tested this early during the merge window it regressed booting a
regular system for me meaning if I compiled a kernel with this feature
enabled it complained about not being being able to open an initial
console and it dropped me right into initramfs instead of successfully
booting. I haven't looked into what this is caused or how to fix it for
lack of time.
