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...
