The "3396 Megabytes" is reported when booted as a xVM / Xen dom0?

Hmm, is there a BIOS setup option to remap the memory that is lost due to PCI device address space at an address >= 4GB? The BIOS should have something like "Memory Hole Remapping" and it should be enabled so that the OS can use all of the available physical ram. Of cause this also depends on the chipset used on the mainboard, there are chipsets that can't access memory at addresses >= 4GB.
