Yes, the PV domU is linux kernel.

I tested pci_alloc_consistent() verified on baremetal it worked with 8GB SDRAM.
But while I ran it in XEN, pci_alloc_consistent() cannot allocate
memory successfully for 4MB although pci_set_dma_mask(),
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask() and dma_set_mask() all succeeded.
