Thanks for your tests and your patience.

Not sure this is the reason of the crash. Just that it disables bootx 
console here and doesn't re-enable any console before the crash.

Could you move the call to btext_unmap() after the call to 
memblock_set_current_limit(lowmem_end_addr); at the end of function 
MMU_init()

And redo the test, still with my patch applied for the additional pr_infos.


Thanks
Christophe
