That helps a bit on dom0, for a 256MB dom0 it brings free memory up
from 142MB
|Memory: 145576k/6028224k available (6122k kernel code, 3932612k absent,
1950036k reserved, 4761k data, 576k init)
to 173MB
|Memory: 177156k/262144k available (6122k kernel code, 452k absent, 84536k
reserved, 4761k data, 576k init)
To shrink it more maybe the acpi tables would have to be moved...
