no, the CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is not set, and yes with same panic at 
move_freepages at

start_pfn/end_pfn [de600, de7ff], [de600000, de7ff000] :  pfn =de600, 
page =ef3cc000, page-flags = ffffffff,  pfn2phy = de600000

the __free_memory_core will check the start pfn and end pfn,

  if (start_pfn >= end_pfn)
          return 0;

  __free_pages_memory(start_pfn, end_pfn);
so the memory will not be freed to buddy, confused...
