Yep, >=4GB definitly used to work (though only 4GB is usable), so it
must be something we've broken fairly recently, or be quite hardware
specific. 

We'll see if we can reproduce locally, alternatively, please can you add
some debugging to alloc_boot_pages in page_alloc.c. Specifically it
would be good to print size and align, and to print out the values of pg
and i before the test for i==size.
