Public bug reported:

Booting the latest eoan daily on a Pi4 with >1Gb of RAM, only the first
1Gb of RAM appears accessible:

    ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ free
                  total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   
available
    Mem:         931920      185484      504748        3664      241688      
723820
    Swap:             0           0           0

However, adjusting the config.txt so that the kernel is booted directly
without u-boot in between results in the full 4Gb being accessible:

    ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ free
                  total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   
available
    Mem:        3884464      189852     3457504        3656      237108     
3636004
    Swap:             0           0           0
