Yeah, qemu executables confusion here - had wrongly something older of the
version 7.1...

Now made sure I'm actually booting with the latest qemu:

QEMU emulator version 7.2.50 (v7.2.0-333-g222059a0fccf)

With that the kernel with your config hangs early during boot and the stack
trace is below.

Seeing how it says trapnr 14, then that looks like something you are seeing.

But lemme poke at it more.
