Sorry, I am using a more or less vanilla 3.4 kernel. Patches fix
the problem there (device boots) and (after knowing about them) the
problematic code is easy to spot:
$ arm-linux-gnueabi-objdump -d mm/slub.o
000014c4 <init_object>:
...
14fc: e1a00001 mov r0, r1
1500: e3a0106b mov r1, #107 ; 0x6b
1504: ebfffffe bl 0 <memset>
1508: e1a03000 mov r3, r0 <<<<<<<
150c: e5942010 ldr r2, [r4, #16]
1510: e3e0105a mvn r1, #90 ; 0x5a
1514: e0832002 add r2, r3, r2
1518: e5421001 strb r1, [r2, #-1]
With unpatched memset, 'r0' points to end of buffer.
