Subject: Fix for xen guest with mem > 3.7G
Xen domU kernel 2.6.26 and 2.6.27-rc cannot allocate
more than 3.7GB of ram on my PAE systems (compiled
with gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)).
I have found the problem is in function xen_memory_setup (in
arch/x86/xen/setup.c).
It set max_pfn as 'unsigned long' but add_memory_region()
takes 'unsigned long long'.
I do not know if it is a compiler problem but this is the simple fix
(works on my systems):
