I think they forgot MIPS totally. Their fix is right, because all the
reserved memory is located on Node 0 by now. If we keep reserved
memory within range of the memoryblock.memory and keep this conresponcy,
then there would not be this bug. My fix is just another way to keep this
conresponcy and make the memory ownership more clear between kernel and 
firmware.
