It is too early in the boot process to be put in the dmesg buffer and it 
most definitely not under bootverbose.  The way to see this is either 
via video console or serial.

#ifndef PAE
                if (smap->base >= 0xffffffff) {
                        printf("%uK of memory above 4GB ignored\n",
                            (u_int)(smap->length / 1024));
                        continue;
                }
#endif
