Hi Mike!

Since commit fa3354e4ea39 (mm: free_area_init: use maximal zone PFNs rather
than zone sizes), I get the following BUG on Alpha (an AlphaServer ES47 Marvel)
and loading userspace leads to a segfault:

(I didn't notice this for a long time because of other unrelated regressions,
the pandemic, changing jobs, ...)

I haven't tried reproducing this on other machines or QEMU, but I'd be glad to
if that helps.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
