You probably missed the following in your boot log:

Ignoring RAM at b0000000-cfffffff (vmalloc region overlap).

Try compiling the kernel with CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G. On my board this gives:

Memory: 512MB 512MB = 1024MB total
Memory: 1035204k/1035204k available, 13372k reserved, 0K highmem
Virtual kernel memory layout:
    vector  : 0xffff0000 - 0xffff1000   (   4 kB)
    fixmap  : 0xfff00000 - 0xfffe0000   ( 896 kB)
    DMA     : 0xffc00000 - 0xffe00000   (   2 MB)
    vmalloc : 0xe0800000 - 0xf4000000   ( 312 MB)
    lowmem  : 0x80000000 - 0xe0000000   (1536 MB)
    modules : 0x7f000000 - 0x80000000   (  16 MB)
      .text : 0x80008000 - 0x803ab000   (3724 kB)
      .init : 0x803ab000 - 0x803c8000   ( 116 kB)
      .data : 0x803c8000 - 0x803ef4c0   ( 158 kB)
       .bss : 0x803ef4e4 - 0x8043cdc0   ( 311 kB)
