I'm sorry for breaking the boot. I tried to reproduce problem on my
laptop, but failed. I plan to test patch with your config on some other

On the meantime can you test attached incremental patch and see if it
workaround the crash? I suspect memblock reuse pages that it passed
already to buddy allocator.
