Thanks to a servo board, I can read the port 80 codes and verified
that the instruction causing the problem is the lgdt / jmp combo
in c_start.S:

_start:
        cli
        lgdt    %cs:gdtaddr
#ifndef __x86_64__
        ljmp    $0x10, $1f
#endif
1:	movl    $0x18, %eax   // <---- never reached with relocatable

It looks like CONFIG_SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE forces relocatable ramstage;
I've modified src/soc/intel/skylake/Kconfig to disable it and now
it makes it all the way into the payload.

And by adding the i915 driver to the Linux payload, it is able to
bring up the console in a miniscule font!

I'm declaring today a huge success!
