Prevent userspace applications from allocating low memory address
ranges.  Otherwise, if some application happens to allocate such
a range and intends for a remote node to access it, and if that node
also implements SBP-2 (which will become more likely with the upcoming
SBP-2 target support), these accesses would be routed by the physical
DMA unit to some wrong memory address.
