Okay. Found it.
Root cause is:
mm-make-mem_map-allocation-continuous.patch
and its friends in -mm.
You have to call sparse_init_one_section() on each pmap and usemap
as we allocate - since valid_section() depends on it (which is needed
by vmemmap_populate() to check if the section is populated or not).
On ppc, we need to call htab_bolted_mapping() on each section and
we need to skip existing sections.
These patches tried to group all allocations together and then later
calls sparse_init_one_section() - which is not good :(
Please let me know, if its doesn't make sense - I will try to explain
better :)
Thanks,
Badari
