So the partial code delta:

      MemoryRegion *sysmem = get_system_memory();
      ram_addr_t block_len;

-    block_len = ram_size;
-    if (ram_size >= HVM_BELOW_4G_RAM_END) {
-        /* Xen does not allocate the memory continuously, and keep a hole at
-         * HVM_BELOW_4G_MMIO_START of HVM_BELOW_4G_MMIO_LENGTH
-         */
-        block_len += HVM_BELOW_4G_MMIO_LENGTH;
-    }
-    memory_region_init_ram(&ram_memory, NULL, "xen.ram", block_len);
-    *ram_memory_p = &ram_memory;
-    vmstate_register_ram_global(&ram_memory);
-
-    if (ram_size >= HVM_BELOW_4G_RAM_END) {
-        *above_4g_mem_size = ram_size - HVM_BELOW_4G_RAM_END;
-        *below_4g_mem_size = HVM_BELOW_4G_RAM_END;
+    max_ram_below_4g = max_ram_below_4g ? max_ram_below_4g : HVM_BELOW_4G_RAM_END;
+    if (ram_size >= max_ram_below_4g) {
+        *above_4g_mem_size = ram_size - max_ram_below_4g;
+        *below_4g_mem_size = max_ram_below_4g;
      } else {
          *above_4g_mem_size = 0;
          *below_4g_mem_size = ram_size;
      }
+    if (!*above_4g_mem_size) {
+        block_len = ram_size;
+    } else {
+        /* Xen does not allocate the memory continuously, and keep a hole of
+         * of the size computed above or passed in. */
+        block_len = (1ULL << 32) + *above_4g_mem_size;
+    }
+    memory_region_init_ram(&ram_memory, NULL, "xen.ram", block_len);
+    *ram_memory_p = &ram_memory;
+    vmstate_register_ram_global(&ram_memory);


Which does redo the calculation of above and below when max_ram_below_4g
is set, is better for code readability.

I am happy to send a v2 with this, just do not want to send too many versions.
