Only 2.5G of RAM available when syslinux64.efi boots 32-bit linux 686-pae
...ated after that, in later kernel versions (at least
kernel v.3.8).
Quote:
"Protocol 2.12: (Kernel 3.8) Added the xloadflags field and extension
fields to struct boot_params for loading bzImage and ramdisk above 4G in
64bit."
Question for (kernel) developers: Could APPENDing the "add_efi_memmap"
kernel option be involved in allowing the whole RAM to be seen by a
32-bit PAE kernel (booted by syslinux.efi X64)?

Syslinux 6.03, kernel not relocatable.
.../cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/Do

there is:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/Do
cumentation/x86/x86_64/uefi.txt
"CONFIG_RELOCATABLE" is not mentioned in this "uefi.txt" document, but
there is "add_efi_memmap" as boot parameter.
I wonder if "add_efi_memmap" can be of any help when the kernel was not
built with "CONFIG_RELOCATABLE".
Considering the Syslinux commit:

Syslinux 6.03, kernel not relocatable.
Hi all,
I have requested tests of this USB installer:
http://slint.fr/testing/slint64-14.1_syslinux.6.03.img
in both BIOS and UEFI modes.
A test in UEFI mode:

leaded to this message:
"Cannot relocate kernel, bailing out"
That leaded me to this post in the ML:
