Re: maximum memory size allocated by _xmalloc

[Chulmin Kim <cmkim@core.kaist.ac.kr>]

Though the issue has been written one month ago,
I post my own experience on it.

Unfortunately, it was not the matter of the requested mem size or 
xmalloc function.
The problem was due to the free memory scrubbing.

I set my xmalloc code in the middle of the bootup code of xen after the 
free memory scrubbing function.
But the placement was wrong.

After i relocated the code line before the scrubbing function,
it worked perfectly.

Thanks for your help!
