I saw a hang at a similar place in the boot process when trying to boot xen-on-xen for our test system. On a hunch I was going to to try recompiling
without the PVHVM PCI related driver (pci-platform ? platform-pci ? ) before saying anything about it.

Since you tried changing the clock source I'm wondering is that the boot issue is unrelated to the clock source, in which case you may get a better
idea of what's hanging by comparing the boot logs from 3.18 to 4.9 and seeing what's present in 3.18 but not in 4.9. Presumably the messages in the
3.18 but not 4.9 logs are either removed from the kernel source or happen after whatever is hanging.
