As this is a quick patch, it only boots with 'nosmp' command line and kernel profiling is disabled. After a quite interesting thread, Kimio Suganuma posted a patch [m2] that ports i386's percpu initialization. David Mosberger then posted [m3] a new patch [l2] with this fix, that boots twice out of three times on Big Sur.
