When booting via the Qubes OS anti-evil maid process, which relies on 
tboot, I have nearly 3GB less total RAM available to the system 
according to xen 'xl info' command. (See discussion in this thread after 
March 30: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-devel/EBc4to5IBdg ).

Synopsis it that it doesn't matter whether or not the 'antievilmaid' 
module is activated: Simply booting into Xen via tboot results in only 
5GB available instead of the full 8GB. Removing tboot.gz from boot 
process results in full RAM (actually 7884MB) availability.

The system is a Thinkpad T430s i5-3320M / QM77 chipset with VT-d enabled 
in the BIOS (which has been updated to the latest). Qubes version is R2 
beta 3 using tboot 1.7.3-3-fc18, Xen 4.1.6.1 and Linux 3.7.4 or 3.11.10.
