Hi,
It seems I am unable to boot my Malta with EVA. The problem appeared in
the 3.18 merge window. I bisected the problem (between v3.17 and
v3.18-rc1) and I found the following commit responsible for the broken boot.
commit 12220dea07f1ac6ac717707104773d771c3f3077
Author: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>

mm/slab: support slab merge
Reverting my tree back to the parent of that commit
423c929cbbecc60e9c407f9048e58f5422f7995d ("
mm/slab_common: commonize slab merge logic")
restores the boot for me.
I don't quite understand the commit yet so let me know if you need more
information to debug this problem
Here is the kernel log of the failed boot.
