I will explain more about problem. 
It could happened with 768MB RAM device and CONFIG_HIGHMEN is not set.
"vmalloc=size" also not stated so that default value of vmalloc_min will be 
used to calculate lowmem end address.

As i know "vmalloc=size" is not mandatory so that i think default value of
vmalloc_min is wrong.
