Hi,


I was going through Xen address space layout, and i was thinking Xen 
uses upper 64MB in x86-32 mode and 168MB in x86-32 PAE mode.  But from 
xen/include/asm-x86/config.h it is not clear where different mappings 
are for 32-bit and 32-bit PAE modes.

I see that FRAMETABLE_MBYTES is hard coded as 96, and other macros are 
also summing up to 168MB, not 64MB.  Does it mean, now Xen takes 168MB 
in both modes? or am i missing anything?


thanks,
