No one really expects a dom0_mem of 16Mb to work reliably.

So perhaps it's not a good default value?  I'm not currently seeing the
value of a low default, given that people who need a small value can
easily set it.  May I suggest a default value of 64Mb?

Benefits include reduced FAQs on this list, better out-of-the-box
robustness, and optimization for the common case.

If there are benefits to sticking with 16Mb, a quick summary would be
appreciated.
