Comment(by umccullough):

 Before I left the house, I did have to switch memtest back to e820-Std
 mode, as the "all" mode kept freezing up. Upon reading the documentation
 for memtest, it was evident that this is considered an "unstable option"
 as it will scan reserved ranges as well.

 Your diagnosis may well be correct, perhaps Linux just avoids this region
 for compatibility's sake. I wouldn't know where to look offhand
 personally, but maybe a glance at the code for Linux or BSD might yield
 some interesting comments there.
