The only idea I have is to boot to ddb (boot_ddb="YES" or boot -d), set a
breakpoint in a function from which the last printed line comes[*], continue
until the breakpoint is hit and then step from there trying to narrow down a
function (or even an instruction) where the hang happens.

[*] - seems to be pcie_cfgregopen()
