This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest
upstream kernel and it still requires the nosmp option. Would it be
possible for you to open an upstream bug report[0]? That will allow the
upstream Developers to examine the issue as well, and may provide a
quicker resolution to the bug.

Please follow the instructions on the wiki page[0]. The first step is to
email the appropriate mailing list. If no response is received, then a
bug may be opened on bugzilla.kernel.org.

Title:
  newer kernels (3.10+) don't boot on MacBook Air 6.1

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The current raring kernel boots (with nosmp and libata.force=noncq),
  newer kernels don't boot at all. They hang with ramdisk loading and
  nothing seems to happen. This is difficult to debug, as it happens so
  early in the boot.
