Did you ever successfully run Xen on that system?

Is the very small upper memory value perhaps causing your
problem (i.e. are you dealing with a GrUB issue rather than a
Xen one)? Admittedly I don't know what values GrUB would
display normally, but the E820 map you presented looks
quite unusual, so I wouldn't be surprised if that caused
problems.
