Hmm.. why do you say that the pages in a tag_range must be in the same
zone? I am not very familiar with how the memory management code puts pages
into zones, but I would imagine that pages in a tag range straddling the
4GB limit (so, let's say, from 3GB to 5GB) will end up in both ZONE_DMA and
ZONE_NORMAL.

Thanks,
Alex
