Hi all,
My laptop (Toshiba Portege R100) stopped working with an early boot hang
at some point between 8.0 and 8.1. After it broke last year I had ended
up just reverting to an earlier kernel, but finally found the time to do
a binary search and narrow it down.
The offending commit is:

I've been experiencing this problem too, along with my USB keyboard

to be tied to CPU usage, meaning it's probably related to the taskqueue

Doesn't seem to have any effect for me (other than high sys% times).
qemu is really good at provoking my em0 to timeout.
