I'm guessing that should technically be v4.11+

Although practically it might not matter, technically phys_addr_t may be
64-bits (CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT) even on a 32-bit kernels, in which
case ~0UL may not be sufficiently large.
Maybe that should be ~(phys_addr_t)0, or perhaps (phys_addr_t)ULLONG_MAX
to match add_memory_region().

Is it worth incorporating this into the existing loop below ...

... and this then placed below that loop?
Otherwise I can't find fault with this patch, though i'm not intimately
familiar with bootmem.
