With the patch the kernel seems to be better, but still have mem issues.

This happened when trying to run memtester while compiling the kernel:
ubu...@panda-maverick-usb:~$ sudo memtester -p 0xb0000000 120

Then the went into a very unstable state (failing next memtest run).

Status in “linux-ti-omap4” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Seen on Maverick: 2.6.35-903.9
HW: pandaboard ES2.0

Using following kernel memory allocation (in bootargs):
mem=4...@0x80000000 mem=5...@0xa0000000

Instabilities have been observed in 2 different ways:

1) The following memtester test:
sudo memtester -p 0xb0000000 120
Fails in few seconds with a "illegal instruction” error.
Then various behaviors can be seen:  the UI can freeze, shell commands be 
unavailable. The systems works well again after a reboot.

2) By doing a native build of a kernel package (with file-system on SD card, 
and kernel sources on an NFS mount):
After 15mins to 1h30, a "compiler error: bus error" triggers and the build 
stops (and the platform hangs).


This issue cannot be reproduced if using mem=4...@0x80000000 mem=2...@0xa000000.
This issue cannot be reproduced with highmen deactivated from the kernel config.
This issue can be reproduced with 'nosmp' in kernel command line.
