Should this be 1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - 1 instead ? Currently there are
three usage for this variable in the function.

- if (mhp_range.start > max_phys)
- mhp_range.end = min_t(u64, mhp_range.end, max_phys)
- mhp_range.end = max_phys

mhp_range.end being always inclusive on the higher end and could be maximum
(1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - 1) which is 0xFFFFFFFF instead of 0x100000000
when (1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) is followed for a 32 bit system. This seems
consistent with the default fallback (range.end = -1ULL) defined above.
