Good catch. I'll set fdt to NULL in that case in v3.

It does, which is what the error case here does, no? Or are you 
referring to the fact that we're not unrolling the memblock 
reservations? If we can't mark the scratch region, I'd rather leave 
everything else alone. It means the scratch region is in a hole, which 
should never happen.
