With next-20170407 on Seattle Overdrive, I get an SError[0] on boot: The three patches I have on top of 4.11.0-rc5-next-20170407 are: * Revert "efi/libstub/arm*: Set default address and size cells values for an empty dtb" * Revert "ef/libstub/arm/arm64: Randomize the base of the UEFI rt services region" At which point the machine start booting to a prompt again, (its noisier than usual but looks like double-printing). If I then cherry-pick: * ef/libstub/arm/arm64: Randomize the base of the UEFI rt services region" It again fails, producing the trace below. This is all with next-20170407's defconfig, 4K/48.
