The e820 map has a hole near the end of each node and these holes are not
initialized with init_unavailable_range() after it was interleaved with
memmap initialization because such holes are not accounted by
zone->spanned_pages.

Yet, I'm still cannot really understand how this never triggered 

	VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page);

before v5.7 as all the struct pages for these holes would have zone=0 and
node=0 ... 

@Qian, can you please boot your system with memblock=debug and share the
logs?

Sincerely yours,
Mike.
