OK enabled, and no errors or warnings are triggered.

Looks like make omap2plus_defconfig enables FLATMEM:

$ grep -e SPARSEMEM -e FLATMEM .config
CONFIG_ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL=y
# CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is not set
CONFIG_FLATMEM=y

With your patch below, system boots with lots of the following:

[   13.058654] Freeing unused kernel image (initmem) memory: 1024K
...
[   13.129211] pfn_valid(__sync_icache_dcache+0x2c/0x138): pfn: fffb6: is_map: 1 overlaps: 0
[   13.137481] pfn_valid(__sync_icache_dcache+0x2c/0x138): pfn: fffb7: is_map: 1 overlaps: 0
[   13.145751] pfn_valid(__sync_icache_dcache+0x2c/0x138): pfn: fffb8: is_map: 1 overlaps: 0
[   13.153991] pfn_valid(__sync_icache_dcache+0x2c/0x138): pfn: fffb9: is_map: 1 overlaps: 0

[   13.186920] pfn_valid(__sync_icache_dcache+0x2c/0x138): pfn: fffbd: is_map: 1 overlaps: 0
[   13.195159] pfn_valid(__sync_icache_dcache+0x2c/0x138): pfn: fffbe: is_map: 1 overlaps: 0
[   13.203399] pfn_valid(__sync_icache_dcache+0x2c/0x138): pfn: fffbf: is_map: 1 overlaps: 0
[   13.211639] pfn_valid(__sync_icache_dcache+0x2c/0x138): pfn: fff00: is_map: 1 overlaps: 0
...

Then changing console loglevel to 0 boots system to login prompt. But I'm
seeing some init processes segfaulting during start-up.

Tony
