willy is right. max_zone_pfn can only limit the range of zone, but
can't decide which zone is put on which node. The memory layout is
decided by firmware. I searched commit log to get below commit which
can give a good example.

    mm: replace memmap_context by meminit_context
    
    Patch series "mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs", v3.
    
    Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this:
    
     Early memory node ranges
       node   1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
       node   2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
       node   1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
       node   0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
       node   2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]
