memblock does not require that the reserved memory ranges will be a subset of memblock.memory.
As the result there maybe reserved pages that are not in the range of any zone or node because zone and node boundaries are detected based on memblock.memory and pages that only present in memblock.reserved are not taken into account during zone/node size detection.
Make sure that all ranges in memblock.reserved are added to memblock.memory before calculating node and zone boundaries.

CCing Dan.
This implies that any memory that is E820_TYPE_SOFT_RESERVED that was reserved via memblock_reserve() will be added via memblock_add_node() as well, resulting in all such memory getting a memmap allocated right when booting up, right?
IIRC, there are use cases where that is absolutely not desired.
Hmm, if this is the case we need entirely different solution to ensure that we don't have partial pageblocks in a zone and we have all the memory map initialized to a known state.
Am I missing something? (@Dan?)
BTW, @Dan, why did you need to memblock_reserve(E820_TYPE_SOFT_RESERVED) without memblock_add()ing it?
I suspect to cover cases where it might partially span memory sections (or even sub-sections). Maybe we should focus on initializing that part only - meaning, not adding all memory to .memory but only !section aligned pieces.
