Weirdness in __alloc_bootmem_node_high

Hi,
I just come across the following condition in __alloc_bootmem_node_high
which I have hard times to understand. I guess it is a bug and we need
something like the following. But, to be honest, I have no idea why we
care about those 128MB above MAX_DMA32_PFN.
