Does ULE restrict available RAM?

Hi!
7.0-RELEASE (amd64)
RAM 33 GB (8*4096+2*512)
2 quad-core Xeons
The server ran GENERIC kernel with 4BSD scheduler earlier. When loaded
with ULE scheduler it has missed 8GB.
dmesg:
usable memory = 26829983744 (25587 MB)
avail memory = 25999904768 (24795 MB)
# dmidecode -t 17 | grep Size
Size: 512 MB
Size: 4096 MB
Size: No Module Installed
Size: 512 MB

It looks like BIOS-level problem, but... maybe ULE restricts RAM?
Hopefully,
Denis
