OK; the early allocation, for a domain with no vcpus and no RAM, is a
constant 4 MiB, and just needs to be added to whatever overheads are
already being taken into account (domain and vcpu structs, VMCBs, &c).
If there's a problem with allocating the RAM before the proper shadow
allocation is set up, then xend should set the shadow allocation before
it builds the guest. Does it not already do that?
