Bug #315: Xorg/Wayland show black screen when system memory is 4GB or higher

Board: ASROCK G41M-VS3 R2.0
CB Revision: coreboot-4.14-1258-gfbc46a3bfb
When this board has one memory stick with 2GB of ram, or two memory sticks with
1GB and 2GB (3GB total) there's no issue with display; Xorg and wayland (using
weston) work as expected. But when there's 4GB or maybe more (two 2GB sticks
only available, haven't tried a single 4GB stick) the system works as expected
up to just before starting Xorg or wayland, the screen goes black and nothing
else happens. Returning to a tty by means of Ctrl-Alt-# 'ing to some other tty
doesn't bring display back, neither does exitting/killing Xorg or wayland. Not
even forcefully removing and reloading the relevant kernel modules (i915, drm)
does anything to bring the display back, display will only comeback with a
reboot.
When the screen goes black there's no system freeze of any kind, and the kernel
complains with a single line:
"i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun"
that isn't very helpful for debugging imo.
Attached dmesg loglevel=9 logs of stock bios, coreboot with 4GB (coreboot_bad)
and with 2GB (coreboot_good), cbmem console log of coreboot with 2GB
(cbmem_good).
