Verify the fix, no regression issue found.

Host:
kernel-xen-2.6.18-274.el5
xen-3.0.3-132.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-132.el5

Guest:
kernel: 2.6.32-131.12.1.el6

Test on i386 and x86_64 PV guest with below memory/cpu set:
512M UP/SMP
16G UP/SMP
32G UP/SMP
70G UP/SMP
128G UP/SMP

Cases including:
1. Guest startup/pause/unpause/reboot/shutdown
2. mem-set/mem-max, the knownissue rhbz#523122 still exists
3. regular/live/ping-pong migration
 The live migration with 128G memory will get error, a seprated bug rhbz#728877 to trace it.
4. vcpu list/set/pin/overcommit
