Perhaps we're working in different units, but I believe paddrs
0xfffbc000 and 0xfee00000 are between 3GiB and 4GiB.
"Proof by Python":
>>> B=1
>>> KB=1024*B
>>> MB=1024*KB
>>> GB=1024*MB
>>> hex(3*GB)
'0xc0000000'
>>> hex(4*GB)
'0x100000000'
>>> 3*GB == 3<<30
True
>>> 0xfffbc000 > 3*GB
True
>>> 0xfffbc000 < 4*GB
True
>>> 0xfee00000 > 3*GB
True
>>> 0xfee00000 < 4*GB
True
Am I missing something?
I don't think blocking 0xfe0000000 and above is useful, as there's
nothing mapped in that region and AFAIK it's perfectly valid to create
memslots there.
