There are situations when memory regions coming from dts may be too big for the platform physical address space. This especially concerns XPA-capable systems. Bootloader may determine more than 4GB memory available and pass it to the kernel over dts memory node, while kernel is built without XPA/64BIT support. In this case the region may either simply be truncated by add_memory_region() method or by u64->phys_addr_t type casting. But in worst case the method can even drop the memory region if it exceeds PHYS_ADDR_MAX size. So lets make sure the retrieved from dts memory regions are valid, and if some of them aren't, just manually truncate them with a warning printed out.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
