I am probably off here because 1) I am jumping blind in a middle of a 
discussion and
2) I got back from holydays yesterday, so bear with me.

Would not be better to just place the check in add_memory_resource instead?
Take into account that we create the memory mapping for this range in
arch_add_memory, so it looks weird to me to create the mapping if we are going 
to
fail right after because the range is simply off.

But as I said, I might be missing some previous discussion.
