Right, so ACPI is trying to allocate something larger than 2^MAX_ORDER pages, which on x86 computes to 4K * 2^11 = 8M.
That's not going to work.
Did this machine properly boot before? I seem to remember people working on moving away from bootmem and getting th page/slab stuff up and running sooner, it might be fallout from that...
