Hi Mark, 

Thanks for the review and comments!I also think it's a good idea to mark
the memory regions that above the limit as NOMAP type memblock region, base
on this I'm trying to figure out a unify solution to fix this issue for both
DT and ACPI based path. 

So I'll rework this patch and will sent it late once it's being finished.

Thanks,
Dennis
