OK but it seems I am loosing this region of _physical_ memory:
---

[    0.000000]  memory size = 0x1f0000000
[    0.000000]  memory.cnt  = 0x2
[    0.000000]  memory[0x0]     [0x00000000000000-0x000000efffffff],
0xf0000000 bytes
[    0.000000]  memory[0x1]     [0x00000100000000-0x000001ffffffff],
0x100000000 bytes

---

As you can see, memory size is 0x1f0000000 instead of 0x20000000.
Why 256Mb are lost?
