Hi,

as far as Tails is concerned, I'm thinking of:
  - on 64-bit hardware, kexec to a 64-bit kernel and use memtest=
    there; Maxim, have you confirmed by actual testing this works for
    more than 3GB?
  - on 32-bit hardware, kexec to a 32-bit kernel and go on using
    sdmem; it's still limited to 3GB, but arguably 32-bit computers
    with more than 3GB of RAM are very rare.


Thoughts, anyone?

Sure.
