Managed to squeeze in some more bisection steps - and in fact the mm/ changes in -rc4 are still included in the bisection window:
git bisect bad 7c8284c3aa127ffe72a90a1bad52183ec9ad870a git bisect good 0a1af1d61edae189b0a81bc46386ab37eb3d9d4d

these three:
10d73e655cef mm: bootmem: fix free_all_bootmem_core() with odd bitmap alignment c060f943d092 mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation c0232ae861df mm: memblock: fix wrong memmove size in memblock_merge_regions()
might have highmem=512m boot parameter sensitivity.
Thanks,
