Same for me though, and I can boot.

So I don't think the order is it. The biggest difference I'm seeing between the 3.13.11 and 3.14.1 dmesg's provided:

3.13.11:
[    1.861740] bio: create slab <bio-1> at 1
[    1.863389] Btrfs loaded

3.14.1:
[    3.949312] bio: create slab <bio-1> at 1
[    3.950942] Btrfs loaded

It's happening much later, and it's right at this point VFS complains:
[    4.182603] VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block(8,2): error -38

The 8,2 message is consistent with the kernel not knowing what file system sda2 is. Seems like it's saying "I see sda2, I know you want to use it as root, but I don't know what's there - *poof*" and it panics.

If rootwait alone doesn't work, I wonder if root=uuid=2ba08fbc-4b95-46cc-b638-299f16462620 instead of root=/dev/sda2 will work along with rootwait. It should then wait for that fs uuid to become available, rather than waiting for sda2 to become available.

I vaguely recall there recently being btrfs boot problems with the module compiled in…
