Indeed, that case was just occurring to me too! How about:

	u64 next_seg = ALIGN(*start, PFN_4G);

	if (next_seg - *start <= PFN_16M)
		*start = next_seg + 1;

	*end = min(*end, ALIGN(*start, PFN_4G) - 1);

So always allocate at the beginning, but skip past the next 4GB boundary
if there's less than 16MB left (or equal to avoid the 4GB boundary).
