For me, the Raspberry never leaves the rainbow screen if I omit the
total_mem=1024. So it doesn't seem to be a thing with u-boot (which I
don't use). I've read reports of people that can boot their (custom)
kernels with 3GB RAM but get lockups with 4GB ... so I'll experiment
with that, too. But they might have been using a 32bit kernel.

This guy built a custom system image (with custom kernel) based on
bionic that seems to be able to access all 4GB:

-image-unofficial/

But since I want to use the official kernel, I never tested it. However,
he has the kernel config and boot config on his GitHub (link is on that
page). So maybe this helps.
