Hi Alex.
If CONFIG_FLATMEM=y is enabled(xenLinux default is so),
it seems sane that the total is about 5GB.
Do disabling CONFIG_FLATMEM=n and enabling CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
(or CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y) make difference?
And I also noticed that xenLinux default config disables
CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP=n.
Since dom0 may see underlying machine memory layout with the patch,
should we revise default Linux config?
Thanks.
