Hey Ian,

In my /etc/default/grub configuration file, I added:

## Options recognized by /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="dom0_mem=512M"
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN=""

This way the appropriate setting will be tacked on to the multiboot line with 
the Xen hypervisor after running update-grub (which also happens when kernels 
are updated).


Note: I also pass dom0_max_vcpus=4, on my multi-threaded system but your setup 
may be different from mine :)
