Unfortunately, not. I can put it on our to-do list but the backlog is
pretty large already, so I can't realistically state an ETA.

No but I looked through the arm32 kernel and couldn't find any
guarantees. IIRC, we used to have such assumption in the past until we
got the TI Keystone platform with RAM being relocated above 4GB (after
the initial boot code).
