The reason it is not in the source tree is because this isn't the
reason for the failure. Applying this patch simply causes the
real bug not to be seen. The real problem was the way the initrd
and other kernel resources were initialized, which has been fixed
long ago.
There are lots of PowerPC systems using initrd as large as 24 Mbytes
without trouble. I suspect this 405 tree isn't up to date in other
generic places, which is why you still see this problem.
