Hello,

me too here, kind of...
Machine resets after nexus0 – took my SLR with 1s exposure time to make 
sure there's no more GOP output available :-(
Haven't tried efi.rt.disabled=1 yet, since I had to spend some time to 
get the old kernel in place.
non-booting kernel inquestion is custom r337804.
Like Pete, I'm booting from a ZFS pool utilizing GOP, load_geli, zfs, 
aesni, nut my machine dosen't hang after "nexus0" but hard resets.
The modules loaded don't influence the problem, even with only "kernel" 
(which is MINIMAL_config + very view devices/filesystems added) loaded, 
the machine resets after "nexus0".

Will try efi.rt.disabled=1 tomorrow.
Anyone intending to update a haswell/UEFI machine (Intel DH87MC in my 
case, with INVPCID microcode updated BIOS) could run into simialr 
situation I guess, so please make sure to be prepared...

My first suspicion were side effects of r337715.  But this is just a 
wild guess, haven't bisected anything yet.

Thanks,
