Hi, Michael and the list,

I observed this on windows 8 enterprise guests, when doing memory ballooning:

...

I think it's very possible that these zero addresses (please let me
know what the first 4K page is used for if anyone knows, since IIUC
that's what we throw away now) are half of the 64bit PFN.  Or say, not
sure whether this means a windows guest driver bug that is using
64bits for PFN rather than 32bits (and I suppose the protocol is using
32bit for PFNs).

Michael, do you know what to do with this?

Thanks,
