It appears to be one of the reasons. The other is that the kernel is trashing the device tree because it happens to be sitting in the same page as the last part-page of the initrd, and free_initrd_mem() rounds up to a page boundary when poisoning memory after the initrd has been uncompressed. I think there is also some noise because we don't emulate the oscillator and voltage regulator control sysregs, but the kernel boots anyway. -- PMM
