I commented it out, and the module loaded but I got a burst

incompatible with Xen.

Why does Xen not allow the dom0 to set these parameters? My
development workstation is my main home box, and I like to
have sound on it.

Xen's allocator currently only supports a 31 bit DMA zone, which is
sufficient for the vast majority of hardware devices. I guess you could
try hacking the constants, but you might exhaust a 28b pool.

I think we will support it out of the box when I get some more time to hack on the Xen memory allocator.
