OK, nothing really strange about it.

I don't have any hardware setup that would mirror yours, so I tried to
run under QEMU to have a similar E820. I got this

which is close enough to be similar to your system. It's E820 stops
right at the 4GB mark, and then when Linux boots it considers that
whole region as balloon space.

And nothing.. I did not get any of those errors you got. Let me
play with this some more.
