From: Mike Rapoport <redacted> The first 4Kb of memory is a BIOS owned area and to avoid its allocation for the kernel it was not listed in e820 tables as memory. As the result, pfn 0 was never recognised by the generic memory management and it is not a part of neither node 0 nor ZONE_DMA.So, since it never was added to memblock.memory structs, it was not initialized by init_unavailable_mem, right?
Actually it was initialized by init_unavailable_mem() and got zone=0 and node=0, but the DMA zone started from pfn 1, so pfn 0 was never a part of ZONE_DMA.
