Re: [Xen-devel] Why the machine address is out of the end of real physical memory?

["ken lost" <kenlost@xxxxxxxxx>]

Does it mean that On xen domain0  the file /proc/iomem show the real
machine memory map, not the psudo physical memory map ?

Can I get a memory page whose machine address is below 4G ?

These are the information of file iomem
# cat /proc/iomem
