Also, can you check if reverting following patch could help?

| commit e5f15b45ddf3afa2bbbb10c7ea34fb32b6de0a0e
| Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>

| x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded
|
| Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c
| and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and
| tries to clean from _brk_end to _end.
| It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently
| does not.
| Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory
| hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there.
|
| This patch moves cleanup_highmap() down after _brk_end is settled so
| we can do everything in one step.
| Also we honor max_pfn_mapped in the implementation of cleanup_highmap.

Thanks
