Try fiddling with the dom0_mem.. to see at what point it starts failing. Is
this happening only on this machine or do you see it on other boxes too?

Your E820 looks as so:
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 000000000009f000 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 00000000df66d800 (usable)

Which looks completly normal.. I am really at loss here. You could
also sprinkle printk's around that code (or xen_raw_printk and inhibit
the Linux kernel console output - that way you would only see the Xen
and output from xen_raw_printk).

Let me bootup 2.6.37 on a 4GB machine just to see if I am seeing this.
