Keir,
     Has this been applied for inclusion into 3.0.5, or has that branched off
already?  I ask because if it's not for 3.0.5, I would like to propose
auto-limiting dom0 mem to some reasonable default (say, 32G) for 3.0.5, so that
the HV/dom0 will at least boot on large memory systems.  If it is for 3.0.5,
then this is moot.
