There is a BIOS update for your machine that deals with hybrid graphics. My initial search did not find many details though.

drm0 at inteldrm0
drm: Memory usable by graphics device = 2048M
...
1:0:0: mem address conflict 0xfff80000/0x80000
vendor "NVIDIA", unknown product 0x0fe4 (class display subclass 3D,
rev 0xa1) at pci4 dev 0 function 0 not configured
.

I wonder if the memory address conflict is due the Nvidia driver reserving that memory space? If the Nvidia driver could be disabled in the bios it is possible that that the memory could be freed up. It would be something to consider when purchasing a hybrid graphics laptop for OpenBSD use.

The last thought is if adjusting the usable memory for the intel driver affects anything?
