The reason I asked the question because most of the ARM SOC I came across
aren't using the RAM phys address 0 and thought was because of boot architecture
with ROM occupying that address with reset vector starting at address 0.

That was one of the main reason we had description on max_*pfn on ARM w.r.t
to other acrhes.

Will corner ARM guys to understand bit more about it in some conference ;-)

Thanks for clarification.
