This is not possible: the region is always the stretch of text
between point and mark.  So either point or mark must be at the
beginning of the buffer, and the other must be at the end.

I wonder if C-u C-SPC takes you back (possibly repeat a couple of
times).  If not, then you might have to do C-SPC before C-x h so that
C-u C-SPC can take you back.
