Thanks a lot.  I'm *suspecting* that somehow memory used to back the
device tree is not fully reserved and the change in allocation logic
is giving out it as part of allocation.  I'll look through the change
more and see if I can spot a bug in the new code but I guess we'll
probably have to print out some pointer values to find out the
offending address.

Thanks.
