The combination of HIGHMEM64G and PCI doesn't work in 2.6.31-rc1,
causing a hang in PCI initialisation during boot:

At this point the kernel hangs hard until rebooted.
Rebooting with mem=2048M (to avoid issues with mappings >= 4GB)
allows PCI init to proceed and print:

Booting with pci=off also allows the kernel to boot.
Reconfiguring with NOHIGHMEM or HIGHMEM4G also allows the kernel to boot.
This is a regression from 2.6.30 and earlier kernels.
