I tested with a single 2G dimm at pipacs's request. Here is what I found.
mem=unset: booted
mem=1930M: booted
mem=1929M: failed
Booted with memblock=debug and found the following :D
It looks like the uefi regions are simply higher then what the kernel
allows. Here's a grep'd dmesg and /proc/iomem. Maybe the kernel
shouldn't allow you to set mem= to lower then the mem that uefi actually
uses?
