Wrong, there is no such "rule".
If we apply that rule, then if you have 1GB of RAM, it will fill from
0xc0000000 to 0xffffffff inclusive. There will be _zero_ bytes of
vmalloc space. There will be _zero_ bytes of IO mappings. There won't
even be a vectors page, so the kernel _will_ crash on the first exception.
The "rule" you think exists doesn't because it is wrong.
