In case either physbase or reserve_size are not page aligned and in addition if the following condition is also true
node_ar.end_pfn = node->node_end_pfn = PFN_DOWN(physbase+reserve_size). we may hit the BUG_ON(end > bdata->node_low_pfn) in mark_bootmem_node() in mm/bootmem.c Hence pass the pfn that the physbase is part of and align reserve_size before calling reserve_bootmem_node().
