Please add initcall_debug to the kernel boot command line - that should
narrow it down.

<looks at this again>

That's

WARN_ON_ONCE(is_ram);

the changelog for the patch which added that warning is information-free
and there's no code comment explaining what went wrong, which makes things
rather harder than they ought to be.

Yes it's due to the new OLPC code. olpc_init() has

romsig = ioremap(0xffffffc0, 16);

which we probably just shouldn't do this at all unless we're running on the
OLPC hardware. But we need to do this to find out if we're running on the OLPC
hardware! Perhaps the warning should just be removed.
