We've got a serial console log from AWS Support through our Support team
(special thanks to Pedro Principeza and our former colleague Mark Thomas.)
The problem is definitely not the ext4/jbd2 patchset as suspected
(although it's unclear how reverting it caused the kernel to boot;
maybe build environment differences?)
Early in the kernel boot, before even trying to mount the rootfs,
there are blcked swapper tasks, and they just continue to happen.
(full log attached.)
