This results in the system having slightly less memory available for use than the actual amount provided by Xen. [Fix] See first comment. [Test Case] Load a virtual Xen guest with the latest precise (3.2) kernel, and notice that its total memory is less than what is allocated in the Xen configuration. Also possible is to load a virtual Xen guest, with the exact same Xen guest config/parameters, with the latest trusty (3.13) kernel; on trusty and later, the total amount of memory is correctly detected. [Regression Potential] None known.
