Hmm, apparently I've miscalculated the ranges...

Can you please check with the below patch on top of this series:

diff --git a/arch/arm/mm/init.c b/arch/arm/mm/init.c
index bb678c0ba143..2fafbbc8e73b 100644

-	if (memblock_is_map_memory(ALIGN(addr + 1, pageblock_size)) ||
-	    memblock_is_map_memory(ALIGN_DOWN(addr, pageblock_size)))
+	if (memblock_overlaps_region(&memblock.memory,

 		return 1;
 
 	return 0;
