Basically this is right, though the -1 is pretty pointless: 0x400000
translates to 1 GiB + 1 MiB. Staying one KiB below that makes little
sense :-)

If you want to be precise, make it 0x400000-0x400 (exactly 1 GiB); or
alternatively, ignore the fact that it's slightly above 1 GiB, in which
case you can just leave out the -1 (and use > instead of >= ).
