Indeed.  Oracle expects to move to a 64-bit dom0 in a "future"
release, but we have to make the 32-bit dom0 work until then.

Our default configuration specifies dom0_mem=xxx which I would
assume would eliminate most or all of the "trouble" you are
referring to, but, Mukesh, could you confirm what dom0_mem
is set to?
