When trying to change alloc_bootmem with memblock to go with real top-down
Found one old system:
[ 0.000000] Node 0: aperture @ ac000000 size 64 MB
[ 0.000000] Aperture pointing to e820 RAM. Ignoring.
[ 0.000000] Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole

[ 0.000000] This costs you 64 MB of RAM

it means __alloc_bootmem_nopanic() get too high for that aperture.
Use memblock_find_in_range() with limit directly.
