btw., here's the 'good' versus 'bad' bootup log (vanilla kernel spiced
with a few extra stats printed out [*]):
http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/boot.26.log # bad
http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/boot.27.log # good
the only difference is SECTION_SIZE_BITS == 26 versus 27.
looking at the dmesg diff, there's just minimal (and expected) offset
difference in some structure sizes. (more sparse maps use a bit more
memory)

[*] in case you wonder why memory_section->map is twice its size - i
doubled it just to eliminate any doubts about off-by-one errors.
Their natural size, as returned by bootmem, was 512KB plus 16 bytes
(!), which seemed a bit weird. Probably a section entry came between
two memory map allocations?
