The arch/arm/mm/nommu.c has to be updated too :)

I've tested your change on keystone (with some additional printouts in sanity_check_meminfo())
and got following results:

Keystone mem defined as: from@0x80000000 size@0x40000000 (LPAE=OFF)

As result, i have few comments regarding sanity_check_meminfo() changes as I think there are
some issues &side effects changes at least in printouts - see below.

memblock_region_memory_base_pfn() can be used here.

I think, start + __phys_to_pfn(reg->size) can be replaced by
memblock_region_memory_end_pfn().

The wrong size is used here, should be => memblock_remove(block_start, reg->size);
or => memblock_remove(block_start, size_limit);

Pls, change it back to show new RAM limit instead of size.
pr_notice("Truncating RAM at %pa-%pa to -%pa",
				&block_start, &block_end, &vmalloc_limit);

if !highmem then size_limit will be calculated as vmalloc_limit - reg->base
which in turn can be greater than reg->size. So, arm_lowmem_limit can point on
non existent memory address.

Seems, it should be:
  arm_lowmem_limit = block_end;
