Do you mean we should fix such RMRR problem completely? Looks we need to 
reserve the RMRR range for each VM. So I'm considering to force 
reserving this range when we go that XENMEM_machine_memory_map for each 
VM. But I'm not sure if this is good. So maybe we can do this after this 
thread since I guess myself need some time to investigate this problem. 
Or you know this is ongoing by some guys, I'd like to refine my patches 
to follow that.

Okay.
