720f45ad..d9639236 is quite a big range but it does contains some 1:1
mapping changes. You are giving dom0 512M out of 1024M of RAM -- there
shuold be that much free at this stage of the boot but I wonder if we
are trying to allocate the memory aligned to 512M as well -- which
equates to exactly two region and allocating any one page from one of
them will cause us to fail to find 512M.

Can you try a smaller dom0 allocation, e.g. 256M or 128M?

To what extent did 720f45ad work for you? Did it actually mount its
rootfs (which device? mmc?) and run guests without I/O errors?

You could also try reverting 6c21cb36 although I can't immediately see
what would be wrong with it.

Ian.
