Thanks for the test.

When boot from 04000000, the max CAM value is 64M. And
you have a board with 12G memory, CONFIG_LOWMEM_CAM_NUM=3 means only
192M memory is mapped and when kernel is randomized at the middle of 
this 192M memory, we will not have enough continuous memory for node map.

Can you set CONFIG_LOWMEM_CAM_NUM=8 and see if it works?

Thanks.
