Hmm - it does indeed seem to be somewhat dependent on the size of the
machine; I have a bunch of systems from 2GB to 16GB all of which are
running a 768MB Dom0 currently; here's what I see for used memory
(total/free as reported by xenstat) for some of these when just Dom0 is
running:

. 2GB system; 794MB used
. 6GB system; 830MB used
. 8GB system; 840MB used
. 16GB system; 890MB used
