So, the machine finally completed booting after 30-40 minutes or so.  However,
it is not pretty much unusable apparently because the sssd* packages were not
upgraded.  Perhaps this is because on el6 sssd version is 1.11.6 (as of Dec
9th) and on el7 the version is still 1.11.2.  I would have thought that the
upgrade process would have used the equivalent of distro-sync though for such
situations (it is what is used in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum), but maybe
something else went wrong.
