This is mostly likely because of:

commit 6341a674573f1834f083f0ab0f5b36b075f9e02e

    xen/arm: domain_build: Don't continue if unable to allocate all 
dom0 banks
    Xen will only print a warning if there are memory unallocated when 
using
    1:1 mapping (only used by dom0). This also includes the case where no
    memory has been allocated.

    It will bring to all sort of issues that can be hard to diagnostic for
    users (the warning can be difficult to spot or disregard).

    If the users request 1GB of memory, then most likely they want the 
exact
    amount and not 512MB. So panic if all the memory has not been 
allocated.
    After this change, the behavior is the same as for non-1:1 memory
    allocation (used by domU).

    At the same time, reflow the message to have the format on a single
    line.
