Yes, Xen doesn't do swapping. If swapping is needed, the guests should be
configured to do it themselves.

Correct. Bear in mind Xen uses some memory too.

Correct, on x86 we don't support the PAE36 mode required to support more than
4GB. This is not an insurmountable technical limitation, it's just that it's
not deemed worth the development time. On other systems (e.g. x86_64),
larger memories does not have the same problems.
Cheers,
