Without this flag, gcc generates code to save the Q/V registers to the stack for handling the va_list in pr_print(). Saving the registers is useless, as the registers are never restored, but accessing the registers to save them hangs the CPU. Follow the Linux arch/arm64/Makefile and use the general-regs-only flag to prevent usage of floating point and Advanced SIMD register.
