Subject: [linux-next] CRASH on boot up (mm: don't offset memmap for flatmem)

I downloaded the latest linux-next (next-20150320) and started to run
it against my ftrace tests, and it crashed immediately on boot up in my
i386 boot with the following:

Reverting this commit allows my box to boot once again.

Let me know if you need my config or any other info.
