Yes, it should not allocate > 1G if Dom0 does not have access to that memory 
space. This runs the latest pv-ops kernel 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git;a=summary from the 
xen/master branch.

It only happens for the SRIOV device when the kernel does PCI memory 
reassignment on boot.
