Setting 'limit' variable to 0 might seem like it means "no limit". But
in the memblock API, 0 actually means the 'MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE'
enum, which limits the physical address range end based on
'memblock.current_limit'. This could be confusing.
Use the enum instead of 0 to make it clear.

v1 -> v2: do not rename 'limit' to 'limit_or_flag'
