This is a common 'issue' with systems that have more than ~3GiB >>RAM - the area of memory reserved for 32-bit PCI devices (the 'memory hole' >>above) can prevent access to memory beyond it. I don't have options called 'memory hole', but in ASUS Commando BIOS I have option named 'Memory remap', seems this is what you talking about. By default this option is enabled and FreeBSD/OpenBSD can see 2,1Gb RAM from 8Gb, when I switch off this option - FreeBSD/OpenBSD can see 2,6Gb RAM from 8Gb. The same things I get when use x86 version of xBSD, so I didn't see any changes when migrate to xBSD 'amd64' version :(
