dom0 is not doing anything, but has cached about 4.9GB of the ram, which
results in failure to create new hosts.
 
I ran into this many many times with RHEL 5 and the problem looked
like a ballooning issue to me (but I am not developer-savvy enough to
fix it myself).
I ended up using the dom0_mem param at boot time, as was suggested in
this thread, and set it to 1024M.  That gives you a 1GB dom0 and
should give you 7GB or so for domUs.
That seemed to fix the problem for me.
I also ran into a problem with trying to run more than 80 domUs
simultaneously...  that seemed to be a hard limit, but looked more
like a network issue than a memory issue.
