    TODO:
        - I vaguely recall that one of the early platform we supported add
          the memory starting in high memory (> 1TB). I need to check
          whether the new layout will be fine.
I think we have some Juno with some memory like that, tell me if you need help here.

Would you be able to check the memory layout and confirm?

I checked and the Juno we have as the high memory a lot lower than that:
RAM: 0000000880000000 - 00000009ffffffff

No idea why it was a lot higher in my mind.

I have only encountered one board with the memory over 512GB. I can't remember whether it is AMD Seattle or X-Gene.

So I found the answer. This was AMD Seattle where the memory start at 512GB. So I will map Xen starting at 2TB (so there is a bit of slack).

Cheers,
