Does the issue occur on your system with mem=0x40000000?

I think the issue occurs when reserved memory range is not includes
in system ram which informed by e820 or SRAT table. On your system,
0x40004000 is reserved by trim_snb_memory(). But if you use mem=0x40000000,
the system ram is limited within 0x40000000. So the issue will occur.
