Hi,
my machine only has 160 MiB of RAM (32 + 128) but on Linux I only see
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 132Mi 29Mi 35Mi 0.0Ki 67Mi 96Mi
Swap: 511Mi 0B 511Mi
The memory is detected correctly (and I already set iommu=off), but then a large chunk of it is reserved - for what?

In the past using 'iommu=off' helped to regain some memory.
It might also be possible to patch out some KASLR stuff..
'reserved' usually means, that those parts of memory are blocked by I/O ports
or memory areas for DMA or mapped ROMs.. Disabling some ROM-mapping
into RAM might also help.
