Can someone explain why uboot copies the initrd and device tree data to higher memory when we boot panda with a dtb? I'm assuming there's a reason, but it seems a problematic thing to do (potentially even without
3/4GB SDRAM present).

Probably because it seemed like a safe assumption that the top of ram is the easiest place to put images to keep them out of the way of the kernel when it decompresses itself. It would appear that you've proven that assumption wrong. :-)
