Hardware-remapping gave me this dmesg:

real memory  = 5100273664 (4864 MB)
avail memory = 4126797824 (3935 MB)
ACPI APIC Table: <PTLTD          APIC  >
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs

Software-remapping gave me:

real memory  = 5368709120 (5120 MB)
avail memory = 4118933504 (3928 MB)
ACPI APIC Table: <PTLTD          APIC  >
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs

I've set memory remapping to hardware in bios.
