Hi Jan,

I looked at the linux code xen_create_contiguous_region(). It appears the 2MB 
limit comes from the #define MAX_CONIG_ORGER 9. Could that be modified to get 
more than 2MB. 

If not would you have other suggestions of how I can I get around 500M or more 
of physically contiguous memory on Xen in Dom0 linux. 

Thanks
Kashmira
