 You were saying that OS view of memory of node is something like the following ?
  
    Node X:  |MMMMMM------MMMMMM--------|  
       (legend) M: mirrored  -: not mirrrored

 If so, is this a real Box's configuration?
 Sorry, I haven't got a real Address Range Mirror capable boxes yet ...
 I thought mirroring range is concatenated at the first part of each node.

 Sincerely,
 Taku Izumi
