When ballooning on an x86 32 bit PAE system with close to 64 GiB of memory, the address returned by allocate_resource may be above 64 GiB. When using CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, this setup is limited to using physical addresses < 64 GiB. When adding memory at this address, it runs off the end of the mem_section array and causes a crash. Instead, fail the ballooning request.
