Thanks!
Can't say anything caught my eye, except the early microcode update.
Just to rule that out, can you try booting without the early microcode
update?

And, to check Juergen's suggestion about failure in
memblock_x86_reserve_range_setup_data(), can you try this patch on top of
the failing tip:
