This looks off. The number of pages for the memmap exceeds the available free
size. Working backwards, I think the wrong bounds are being calculated in
find_limits in arch/arm/mm/init.c . max_low is now calculated via the current
limit but nommu never sets a limit unlike the mmu case. Can you try the
following patch and see if it fixes the issue? If this doesn't work, can
you share working bootup logs so I can do a bit more compare and contrast?

Thanks,
Laura

Subject: [PATCH] arm: Set memblock limit for nommu

Commit 1c2f87c (ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo) changed find_limits
to use memblock_get_current_limit for calculating the max_low pfn.
nommu targets never actually set a limit on memblock though which
means memblock_get_current_limit will just return the default
value. Set the memblock_limit to be the end of DDR to make sure
bounds are calculated correctly.
