Actually I am wrong here. It is not each section in general. I have
completely forgot that we do large memblocks on x86_64 with a lot of
memory and then we hotadd 2GB memblocks and the altmap will allocate
from the beginign of the _memblock_ and so all the memmaps will end up
in the first memory section.
