Apparently e100 driver uses GFP_ATOMIC allocations in setup phase, and
your machine doesnt have enough memory.
I would try following patch, allowing the use of GFP_KERNEL at init
time, to let vm games play.
Thanks
[PATCH] e100: use GFP_KERNEL allocations at device init stage
In lowmem conditions, e100 driver can fail its initialization, because
of GFP_ATOMIC abuse.
Switch to GFP_KERNEL were applicable.
Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to GFP_ATOMIC allocations, since driver can cope
with failed allocations (if setup succeeded)
