reg06: base=0xcf600000 (3318MB), size= 2MB: uncachable, count=1
after clean up
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=2048MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1

reg05: base=0x120000000 (4608MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
reg06: base=0x12c000000 (4800MB), size= 64MB: uncachable, count=1
so the hole base is not right, it should be at 3318MB instead of 3326MB.
please hold to test v3 ...
Thanks
