sidenote, is this failure normal:

?

the leaked ioremap seems to be:

hm, why does it say 2? I only see a single backtrace in the dmesg you 
sent. ( Could you boot with ignore_loglevel to make sure you get all 
printks to the log? )

Btw., did the bootup otherwise go fine? The typical nesting is at most 2 
levels, and i've kept the max nesting at 4 so the typical 1-2 leaks 
should have no functional/correctness aspect on the bootup, just that 
warning message. Once we hit the 5th leaked ioremap we start rejecting 
early_ioremap()s and that might result in boot failures.
