The OpenBlocks AX3-4 has a non-DT bootloader. It also comes with 1GB of soldered on RAM, and a DIMM slot for expansion.
Unfortunately, atags_to_fdt() doesn't work in big-endian mode, so we see the following failure when attempting to boot a big-endian kernel:
686 slab pages 17 pages shared 0 pages swap cached [ pid ] uid tgid total_vm rss nr_ptes swapents oom_score_adj name Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes...

Fix this by setting a sane default (1 GB) in the dts file.

Please test when you have a moment. If it works for you, feel free to apply it directly wherever you feel it's appropriate.
thx,
Jason.
