On my rp3440, the biggest gap seems to be 265GB:

dave@mx3210:~$ cat /proc/iomem
00000000-3fffffff : System RAM
00000000-000009ff : PDC data (Page Zero)
00100000-004acfff : Kernel code
004ad000-00661fff : Kernel data
40000000-4fffffff : IOVA Space
100000000-27fdfffff : System RAM
4040000000-40ffffffff : System RAM
