So, the best range for the breakage we have is v3.3..v3.5.

As a blind shot into the dark, that turns out to be a range when a
number of irq-remapping, vt-d changes went upstream:

comet:~/tip> gll v3.3..v3.6 arch/x86 | grep -i remap
399988eea194 irq_remap: Fix compiler warning with CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP=y
79fec2c557cf Merge tag 'intr-remapping-ops-for-ingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu into core/iommu
8a8f422d3b4f iommu: rename intr_remapping.[ch] to irq_remapping.[ch]
95a02e976c39 iommu: rename intr_remapping references to irq_remapping
263b5e8629c9 x86, iommu/vt-d: Clean up interfaces for interrupt remapping
5e2b930b0784 iommu/vt-d: Convert MSI remapping setup to remap_ops
9d619f657222 iommu/vt-d: Convert free_irte into a remap_ops callback
4c1bad6a0af1 iommu/vt-d: Convert IR set_affinity function to remap_ops
0c3f173a88c4 iommu/vt-d: Convert IR ioapic-setup to use remap_ops
4f3d8b67ad30 iommu/vt-d: Convert missing apic.c intr-remapping call to remap_ops
736baef4472d iommu/vt-d: Make intr-remapping initialization generic
f7219a5300ba x86: Introduce CONFIG_X86_DMA_REMAP

So if you are able to test current kernels, it might be an
additional data point to see whether the reboot delay (which appears
to be a reboot hang on other systems) is related to the following
kernel option:

CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP=y

(CONFIG_X86_DMA_REMAP is off on Fedora.)

IRQ_REMAP is somewhat of a dual personality feature, living half in
arch/x86/, half in drivers/iommu/. It should normally matter for
servers more than for laptops.

Btw., regarding your encrypted partitions boot problem, do you have
any non-encrypted filesystem? If yes then you could copy /[s]bin and
/lib to it and boot via init=/bin/bash, you ought to get a minimal
shell and be able to run /sbin/reboot.

Thanks,

Ingo
