Hello.

I found what was wrong.

Bad kernel config contained

  CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000
  CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN=0x100000

whereas good kernel config contained

  CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000
  CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN=0x1000000

. I think that there is no constraint checking for these values and resulted in
overlaying something on the kcrctab table.

Now linux-next-20130903 works fine. Thank you.
