looking into fixmap.h I started to look into:
#define NR_FIX_BTMAPS 64
#define FIX_BTMAPS_SLOTS 4
FIX_BTMAP_END = __end_of_permanent_fixed_addresses + 256 -
(__end_of_permanent_fixed_addresses & 255),
FIX_BTMAP_BEGIN = FIX_BTMAP_END +
NR_FIX_BTMAPS*FIX_BTMAPS_SLOTS - 1,

which led me to a patch you had submitted:
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/68719/
and another located here:
http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2008/08/29/211

your patch works, I reapplied it to the latest HEAD, and added a
bisected-and-tested-by unto it and sent it as an attachment to
the bug report.

the other thread(patch) I was able to get the system boot with that, as
well but with it only changed the size of page(256 to 512 etc..).

Let me know what would be the best approach with this.
