Sorry, I can't reproduce this on my j6000.

But there are some differences:
1) I'm using gcc 4.2
2) I'm testing 32-bit kernels.
3) j6k has 2GB of RAM (ie no RAM mapped above 4GB).
4) config file might be different in additional ways.

I'll kick off a 64-bit build and test that as well.

Given 32-bit works, we might be able to figure this out w/o bisect.

Is this really 4GB with IO Hole?
The memory behind the IO Hole should be visible at a phys addr above 4GB.

BTW, I'm not sure this is a kernel problem. Do older kernels still work?

FWIW, here's the equivalent output for the kernel I just booted on j6k:
