Hmm, this is more of a kernel limitation than a hardware limitation,
though.  The board physically has 1GB of memory, right?  It is best if
the DT entry reflects the actual hardware configuration.

The Broadcom kernels enable the CPU's special "XKS01" feature to put
1GB of memory in ZONE_NORMAL:

Maybe this would be worth adding to mainline.
