Somehow, I doubt AMD see it that way :-) Some boards at least have a BIOS option to support 'memory hoisting' to map the 'lost' memory above the 4G address space. I suspect a lot of the lower-end (and older) boards however don't have this option, as they were not tested with 4GB.
I have Tyan k8e which supports memory remapping. Question, however, will that work with i686-based kernel? Or do we have to switch to x86_64?
