Keir,
     Excuse me if I misunderstood, but I thought these were the patches
to remove the DMA zone that were alluded to in the other thread about
booting Xen on large memory machines.  If they are those patches, then I
don't believe we actually need to limit dom0 memory; since the
constrcut_dom0() allocation will come out of the single large zone, it
should Just Work(tm).  If they aren't those patches, then these have
nothing to do with each other; I apologize for the noise.
