That would be (assuming it really starts a 0)
0000000000000000-00000000bfffffff
0000010000000000-00000100ffffffff
0000010800000000-00000108ffffffff
right? The common non-top zero bits are 36-39, which would reduce the
virtual address space needed for the 1:1 mapping and frame table
approximately by a factor of 16 (with the remaining gaps dealt with by
leaving holes in these tables' mappings).
Actually, this tells me that I shouldn't simply use the first range of non-
top zero bits, but the largest one (currently, I would use bits 32-34).
But, to be clear, for the purposes of memory hotplug, the SRAT is what
the parameters get determined from, not the E820 (since these
parameters, other than the upper boundaries, must not change post-
boot).
