I am really puzzled.  In other words, touching all memory causes the
msgbuf to not hang.

Reboot, enter BIOS setup and enable interleave.
Set late_console to zero in loader.
Do not enable memory test.
Boot the patched kernel.
Kernel must hang, according to your previous reports.
I want to see the console log.
