I'm not sure that's the right direction. reserved-memory nodes
generally should be in the range of system memory (i.e. what /memory
nodes define).

Perhaps.

That should cause another warning because the 'simple-bus' checks
expect to have nodes with addresses as 'simple-bus' means MMIO bus.
That may have been the check which was broken for a while and I just
fixed not too long ago.
