Hi,

After hunting an unreproducible bug, I decided to run memtest86+ and found that only 8 byte of memory refuse to write the last two digit on the last 4GB memory stick.

Memory is at 0x31db357558

So I decided to add a memmap=4K@0x000000031db35000 boot options in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. But checking dmesg, I see no mention of this page being reserved.

PS: CC me I'm not subscribed.
