If we don't feel happy turning CONFIG_HIGHMEM on, could we use CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G instead? This allows Linux to map and use all of the physical RAM, though it does reduce the virtual address space available to user processes to 2G.
This gives me something more like:
[ 0.000000] Memory: 472MB 480MB = 952MB total
[ 0.000000] Memory: 950428k/950428k available, 57188k reserved, 0K highmem
(note that this isn't exactly the current Linaro kernel config; with CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G I had about 7xxxxxk of memory available to Linux)
