I can probably reproduce again and get full logs when I get run time on the
system again, but here’s some output that we saved in our internal Jira case :

If I remember correctly there was a mix of 4GB and 8GB DIMMs populated on this
system. In addition the firmware reserved 512MByte at the end of each memory
controllers physical range (hence the reserved ranges in the e820 map).
Note: this was with 4.1.0 vanilla so it could be obsolete now with 4.2-rc. I
have not yet tested with your latest patches that you and Tony discussed.
Cheers,
Steffen
