mm/memblock.c:583

                        phys_addr_t r_start = ri ? r[-1].base + r[-1].size : 0;
  97:   85 d2                   test   %edx,%edx
  99:   74 08                   je     a3 <__next_free_mem_range+0xa3>
  9b:   49 8b 48 f0             mov    -0x10(%r8),%rcx
  9f:   49 03 48 e8             add    -0x18(%r8),%rcx

It's the deref on 9b (r8=ffff88102febd958).
