To recover your machine:
1) Boot from Arch ISO. I always have an USB pan with Arch image and
found it useful for emergency cases.
2) Find your system partitions. Use 'lsblk' for this
3) mount your system partition, e.g. 'mkdir system; mount /dev/sda1 system'
4) arch-chroot into your system: 'arch-chroot system'
5) fix your system e.g. downgrade kernel to previous version 'downgrade linux'
6) reboot and enjoy
