OK, then I don't understand. There is about 1GB of memory on node 0,
which is about half of the partition's memory, and it is even in a
contiguous chunk, but it doesn't start at pfn 0:

early_node_map[3] active PFN ranges
1: 0 -> 32768
0: 32768 -> 278528
1: 278528 -> 524288

So it's not that node 0 doesn't have any pages. Any other clues?

Thanks,
Paul.
