Ok.

Where is this hole? Please show it as a diagram similar to the one
you've produced below.

Right, so MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS is 31 and not 32 as you don't have memory
at or above 0x80000000. This will immediately halve the amount of
sparsemem supporting structures irrespective of the SECTION_SIZE_BITS
value.
