Yes it exited with errors and I added the same kind traces. It was how I
knew that the size was 0!
I've just rebuild a fresh kernel using mvebu_v7_defconfig and adding
your patch, I got the same issue (see the log at the end of the email.)
But the good news is that on the same kernel on Armada 388 GP the pool
allocation does not fail. I really suspect an issue with my u-boot.

My config is AXP-GP, 78460 @ 1300MHz, 8GB DRAM (only 4GB are used
because I didn't activated LPAE), but the main difference is the U-Boot
version: v2011.12 2014_T2.eng_dropv1.ATAG-test02.
Thanks,
