It looks like if the reserved area straddles the highmem boundary, it'll
only reserve the highmem portion.
Yeah, I thought about that.  I'm wondering if we should warn about

How is the firmware supposed to know where Linux sets its lowmem limit? 
  I think this is something that needs to be handled.
