This one seems to be due to commit 24aab577764f ("mm: memmap_init:
iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") and reverting
it and partially reverting the next cleanup commits makes those
dissapear. sparc32 boot still fails on today's linux-next and mmotm for me with
Run /sbin/init as init process
with arguments:
/sbin/init
with environment:
HOME=/
TERM=linux
Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -14)
I've tried to bisect mmotm and I've got the first bad commits in
different places in the middle of arch/kmap series [1] so I've added Ira
to CC as well :)
I'll continue to look into "bad page" on sparc32

My results with the workaround for sparc32 boot look similar:
