There were a couple of changes that cause this. The free_area_init()
now relies on memblock data and architectural limits for zone sizes
rather than on explisit pfns calculated by the arch code. I've update
motorola variant and missed coldfire. Angelo sent a fix for mcfmmu.c
[1] and I've updated it to include nommu as well

Subject: [PATCH] m68k: fix registration of memory regions with memblock

Commit 3f08a302f533 ("mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP option")
introduced assumption that UMA systems have their memory at node 0 and
updated most of them, but it forgot nommu and coldfire variants of m68k.

The later change in free area initialization in commit fa3354e4ea39 ("mm:
free_area_init: use maximal zone PFNs rather than zone sizes") exposed that
and caused a lot of "BUG: Bad page state in process swapper" reports.

Using memblock_add_node() with nid = 0 to register memory banks solves the
problem.

The initialization in free_area_init() takes into account the actual
physical memory sizing from memblock and max_zone_pfn as the
architectural limit for possible zone extents. This (and the patch
above) is enough to properly setup node and zones.
