Yup - that patch booted it, and produced the output you asked for.

Here's the dmesg output from booting your patch:

<dmesg log snipped>

Thanks. Now it's *painfully* obvious what went wrong - memmap is not necessarily in one zone and in your machine memmap spanned two zones. A patch will follow this mail that fixes the underlying issue but keeps the underflow check in case. Please give it a test if you get the chance. It passes regression tests here.
