Sorry about the delay, was away on business.

These are the only comments that Linux gives about the memory layout:

efi.trim_top: ignoring 4KB of memory at 0x0 due to granule hole at 0x0
efi.trim_top: ignoring 24KB of memory at 0x1000 due to granule hole at 0x0
efi.trim_top: ignoring 8KB of memory at 0x7000 due to granule hole at 0x0
efi.trim_top: ignoring 484KB of memory at 0x9000 due to granule hole at 0x0
efi.trim_top: ignoring 4KB of memory at 0x84000 due to granule hole at 0x0
