Description:

After `pacman -Syu` on 2021-03-19 arch does not boot.

I am getting:

```
Warning: /lib/modules/5.11.7-arch1-1/modules.devname not found
Starting version 247.4-2-arch
/dev/sdb2: clean: 1470274/9830400 files, 36851146/39321600 blocks
mount /new_root: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'.
You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[rootfs ]#
```

During pacman -Syu I had to specify that dbus-python should replace python2-dbus. Checking the pacman log from a live usb I see that module compilation/installation seem to have failed (full log attached):

Additional info:

By downgrading linux and linux-headers to 5.11.6 I no longer get the "Warning: /lib/modules/5.11.7-arch1-1/modules.devname not found" message, but system still does not boot, I guess I need to downgrade more things, or re-compile the kernel modules(?). I am currently looking into that, any hints are appreciated.

Steps to reproduce:
Run pacman -Syu, thereby upgrading linux 5.11.6 -> 5.11.7.

When booting into the live usb I get these errors in journalctl, maybe it is related as well?

Despite these errors the live usb seem to work, and I can chroot into my non-booting system and run commands without issues.
Full log from live usb is attached.

After downgrading linux-firmware to 20210208 as well, and then running pacman -Syu I have a working system again. The update updated:

linux 5.11.6-arch1-1 -> 5.11.7-arch-1
linux-firmware 20210208.b79d239-1 -> 20210315.3568f96-1
linux-headers 5.11.6.arch1-1 -> 5.11.7.arch1-1
sqlite 3.35.2-1 -> 3.35.2-2

I guess sqlite and linux version had to be updated together. I updated sqlite separately yesterday to solve https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/69990.
