That is fixed in the latest Linus tree. You might need this patch as well:

commit e3b73c4a25e9a5705b4ef28b91676caf01f9bc9f

    xen/e820: if there is no dom0_mem=, don't tweak extra_pages.
    
    The patch "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM"
    (d312ae878b6aed3912e1acaaf5d0b2a9d08a4f11) breaks machines that
    do not use 'dom0_mem=' argument with:
    
    reserve RAM buffer: 000000133f2e2000 - 000000133fffffff
    (XEN) mm.c:4976:d0 Global bit is set to kernel page fffff8117e
    (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
    (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:
    ...
    
    The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the
    'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed).
    The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages'
    using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem
    has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with
    MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation:
    
        return min(max_pages, MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES);
    
    and use it:
    
         extra_limit = xen_get_max_pages();
         if (extra_limit >= max_pfn)
                 extra_pages = extra_limit - max_pfn;
         else
                 extra_pages = 0;
    
    which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432)
    - 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller),
    and then we add that value to the E820 making it:
    
      Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
      Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000133f2e2000 (usable)
    
    which is clearly wrong. It should look as so:
    
      Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
      Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000027fbda000 (usable)
    
    Naturally this problem does not present itself if dom0_mem=max:X
    is used.
