I just bisected a boot hang to this change in -next as commit
621a912810a5 ("printk: Prepare for SRCU console list protection"); I
have included the bisect log at the end of this message.

The failure occurs while booting ARCH=powerpc pmac32_defconfig in QEMU,
during which I see the following message spammed constantly. I have
included reproduction steps below, assuming you can use kernel.org's
toolchains [1] (I used GCC 11.3.0):

$ make -skj$(nproc) ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux- mrproper pmac32_defconfig

# For proper serial console output
$ scripts/config -e SERIAL_PMACZILOG -e SERIAL_PMACZILOG_CONSOLE

$ make -skj$(nproc) ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux- olddefconfig vmlinux

$ qemu-system-ppc \
-append console=ttyS0 \
-display none \
-initrd rootfs.cpio \
-kernel vmlinux \
-m 128m \
-machine mac99 \
-nodefaults \
-no-reboot \
-serial mon:stdio
...

The rootfs can be downloaded from [2] at 'images/ppc32/rootfs.cpio.zst'
(just decompress it with 'zstd' first) or you can use 'boot-qemu.py' to
run QEMU automatically (pass '-h' to see the options available).

If there is any further information I can provide or patches I can test,
I am more than happy to do so.

Cheers,
Nathan
