Hi aq,
I tested the -testing tree by applying your patch and i can successfully balloon the domain's memory 
  above the initial allocation now. BTW, you can give either bytes, or m (mega bytes), or k (kilo 
bytes) to the "mem=" kernel command line parameter in the "extra" option of the domain's config file.
Thanks!
Xuehai
