The oops is a lockdep warning.  And from looking at the rest of the
messages on tty3, I don't think the loop1 thing is actually a problem.
It looks like the problem is in finding the .discinfo and from there
continuing on.  Some pretty large changes finally landed yesterday (to
help support things like preupgrade) and it looks like this case slipped
through the cracks of pre-commit testing.  Things are working if I boot
from the kernel and initrd (via pxe or just -kernel and -initrd with
qemu).
