I'm running my code on the FireWRT board with 512M.
I ran memtester with 465M (biggest mmap it could do without causing OOM).

kmalloc will only return allocations from low-memory space. As long as
the first 256M are low-mem and the second 256M are high-mem, no
long-jump is needed.

I have another idea for adjusting the code to the memory map you
provided without using long-jump. I'm going to change the highmem start
offset from 0x20000000 to 0x10000000, that way module allocations will
always fit in the 256M boundary.
