Unfortunately it's only a partial fix as it does not address the problem of
having pfn 0 outside any zone. It gets ZONE_DMA link at
init_unavailable_mem(), but zones[ZONE_DMA]->zone_start_pfn is 1.

I'm looking now how to fix this as well, hopefully I'll have a patch Real
Soon (tm) :)

This crash is reproducible on systems that do not report pfn 0 as usable,
e.g for Chromebook Lukasz is using it is 'type 16':

[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000fff] type 16
[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009ffff] usable

And on my laptop and on a bunch of other systems I have it is usable:

[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009cfff] usable
[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000000009d000-0x000000000009ffff] reserved
