Well, who's making the compat call? Not the guest itself presumably since it
is 64-bit? So it's probably dom0? But I would think that dom0 would only do
large amounts of allocation for the new domU in xc_hvm_build.c, and that is
careful to allocate memory in batches of 8MB at a time.
Basically you need to track down the call site of the failed
compat_memory_op().
