 Rudely replying to my self... I obviously didn't research this enough
before posting. The reason seems to be that the slab allocator isn't
initialised yet at this point so the kmalloc() call in get_vm_area() fail=
s.

 I guess I'll have to defer the initialisation till later on in the boot
process.
