Yes this allows the system to boot for me :)

I'm still seeing these three prints though:

...
smp: Brought up 1 node, 2 CPUs
SMP: Total of 2 processors activated (3994.41 BogoMIPS).
CPU: All CPU(s) started in SVC mode.
pfn_valid(__pageblock_pfn_to_page+0x14/0xa8): pfn: afe00: is_map: 0 overlaps: 1
pfn_valid(__pageblock_pfn_to_page+0x28/0xa8): pfn: affff: is_map: 0 overlaps: 1
pfn_valid(__pageblock_pfn_to_page+0x38/0xa8): pfn: afe00: is_map: 0 overlaps: 1
devtmpfs: initialized
...

Regards,

Tony
