And the resulting kernel booted fine under qemu with 1Gbyte of memory. I'll try on real hardware a bit later, but it doesn't seem like something that should be affected by qemu vs native, unless it has something to do with the specific e820 map.

Note that the crash was reproducible and it very clearly went away when i excluded those commits from tip:master.

Yep, and it looks like the kind of problem those changes might cause. But I can't reproduce it, and its not obvious to me what's actually going wrong. Any chance you could bisect the failure down to a specific changeset, and print "start", "max_pfn_mapped" and "tables" where it fails?

Thanks,
