Is a shell available when the hang occurs? If so, it would be helpful if you
could provide a dump of the information in /sys/kernel/debug/block. There is
namely detailed information in that directory about pending commands.
No, it hangs hard early in the boot process. See various logs at
http://kerneltests.org/builders/, in the 'next' column.
Here is some interesting information from the x86_64 boot tests.

This is consistent across multiple test runs. In summary,
- Boot from initrd fails
- Boot from SATA drive fails (this is with CONFIG_ATA)
- Boot from NVME fails
- Boot from USB drive fails
- Boot from MMC (SD) fails
- Boot from USB UAS drive passes
- Boot from various real SCSI drives passes
Platform (pc,q35), CPU type, or SMP/NOSMP does not seem to make a difference.
