I couldn't quite manage that, but I did pull one of the 512MB DIMMs. Results:

xen:
06000000-060003ff : 0000:00:1f.2

native:
20000000-200003ff : 0000:00:1f.2
  20000000-200003ff : libata

I feel dirty, but have answers. 

ide controller appears with memory range febffc00-febfffff
pci bus memory range for above is f4000000 - febfffff
tg3 eth is at exact same address as linux
video controller ec.. ef.. is at exact same address as linux

I noted that under linux we get the boot message:
Allocating PCI resources starting at 40000000 (gap: 40000000:b0000000)
and ide controller appears at 40000000... but not ethernet or video,
they stay at the same old addresses. Is it just my imagination or does
that address look like the one for the pci bus under windows shifted
left by 4 bits? Probably coincidence.
