Just as the error message says: xen itself and all kernels running under it 
have to be compiled with the same high memory model, that is, all 64bit, or 
all PAE or all without it, limiting them to three point something gigs of 
ram.

Just recompile the xen hypervisor with PAE support, and you should be good to 
go.

Not 100% sure here, but " make clean ; make XEN_TARGET_X86_PAE=y " should do 
the trick.

If you don't need that much RAM, you also could recompile your kernels without 
PAE (the option is named HIGHMEM_something in menuconfig).
