In this case, lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[] will help protect its own memory resource. The higher the relevant ->lowmem_reserve[] is, the harder the upper zone can get memory from this lower zone. However, this protection mechanism should be applied to populated zone, but not an empty zone. So filling ->lowmem_reserve[] for empty zone is not necessary, and may mislead people that it's valid data in that zone.
