I finally manage to get a backtrace:

init/main.c:start_kernel()
arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:setup_arch()
arch/arm/mm/mmu.c:paging_init()
arch/arm/mm/bootmem_init()
mm/sparse.c:sparse_init()
mm/bootmem.c:__alloc_bootmem()
mm/bootmem.c:___alloc_bootmem_nopanic()
mm/bootmem.c:alloc_bootmem_core()

this function ends with by filling the allocated area with zero, which 
is fatal, as the kernel hang here.

the exact call is memset(region, 0, size);
with region = 0xA0000000 and size = 0x00000400;

So now the 1 million euros question is: "why?" :)
