Hi,

I have noticed something similar.
When setting the Dom-0 to use all available memory and then shrink, PCI-pass-
through for the USB-controllers no longer work.
When I start up with dom0_mem=512M (as option to xen, NOT the kernel), the 
pass-through works.

Instead of physically removing memory, have you tried limiting the dom0-
memory?
