Subject: Re: OF-related boot crash in 3.3.0-rc3-00188-g3ec1e88

Hello,

Meelis, can you please apply the following patch before & after the
offending commit, boot with "memblock=debug" added as kernel param and
post the boot log?  The patch will generate some offset warnings after
the commit but should work fine.

Sam, David, as I'm not familiar with the code base, is it possible to
tell which address is corrupted (zeroed, it seems)?  ie. can we add
"if (XXX == NULL) printk("%p is corrputed\n"...);" somewhere?

Thanks.
