Subject: ARM kirkwood: 1 Gb memory 25% unusable due to vmalloc region overlap

I updated my Qnap TS-212 with 256 Mb memory to a new TS-221 with 1 Gb
memory.

On booting, I see that a large chunk of that new memory is not used by
linux:

Is there something I can tweak in this config to make all memory usable
or any other way to solve this? I can test new kernels, I have a working
serial console cable installed in the TS-221.

Thanks,
Jurriaan
