There is no more commit 68c37ccedcde in linux-next, so I've tried to
reproduce with next-20181029 and the attached .config. I've also checked
commit "mm: nobootmem: remove bootmem allocation APIs" in the yesterday's
linux-next.

Both are booting just fine on my machine.

I've built the kernel with gcc 5.4.0 (Ubuntu) and gcc 7.3.0 (Debian).
