1Tb has been tested recently by IBM. However, giving anything beyond
512Gb to Dom0 (or any other domain) is expected have issues, unless
the kernel used is one that has fixes to deal with that (the patch I had
submitted for that apparently caused some trouble in the 2.6.18 tree).
The tools also aren't prepared to deal with DomU-s larger than 512Gb,
I believe.
