I built a mainline gcc 6.2, unfortunately still doesn't reproduce. The kernel
with your config boots to root.

My guess is that something is broken with paravirt ops on 32bit
on that compiler.

I created a new patch with the probing code moved to a separate
function. Can you test if that works?

    x86: Report Intel platform_id in /proc/cpuinfo
    
    We have a need to distinguish systems based on their platform ID.
    For example this is useful to distinguish systems with L4 cache
    versus ones without.
    
    There is a 3 bit identifier (also called processor flags) in
    the IA32_PLATFORM_ID MSR that can give a more fine grained
    identification of the CPU than just the model number/stepping.
    
    IA32_PLATFORM_ID is architectural.
    
    The MSR can be also accessed through /dev/cpu/*/msr, but that
    requires root and is awkward.
    
    The patch moves the reading of PLATFORM_INFO from the
    (late) microcode driver code into the main intel CPU initialization
    path and then also prints it in /proc/cpuinfo
    
    v2: Handle 0 platform_id. Fix commit message.
    v3: Move some code to cpu/intel.c
    v4: Update description too.
    v5: Move msr probe code out of line to w/a potential gcc 6 bug
