Sounds reasonable. Maybe we can change to get the real expected lowest pfn from find_min_pfn_for_node() by iterating memblock.memory and memblock.reserved and comparing.
As I've found out the hard way [1], reserved memory is not necessary present.
There could be a system that instead of reserving memory at 0xfe000000 like in Guillaume's report, could have it reserved at 0x0 and populated only from the first gigabyte...
OK. I thought that we can even compare memblock.memory.regions[0].base with memblock.reserved.regions[0].base and take the smaller one as the lowest pfn and assign it to arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn[0]. When we try to get the present pages, we still check memblock.memory with for_each_mem_pfn_range(). Since we will consider and take reserved memory into zone anyway, arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn[] only impact the boundary of zone. Just rough thought, please ignore it if something is missed.
