Can you try the attached patch, please? I don't have a system at hand
showing the problem.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/xen: allow larger contiguous memory regions in PV guests
Today a PV guest (including dom0) can create 2MB contiguous memory
regions for DMA buffers at max. This has led to problems at least
with the megaraid_sas driver, which wants to allocate a 2.3MB DMA
buffer.
The limiting factor is the frame array used to do the hypercall for
making the memory contiguous, which has 512 entries and is just a
static array in mmu_pv.c.
In case a contiguous memory area larger than the initially supported
2MB is requested, allocate a larger buffer for the frame list. Note
that such an allocation is tried only after memory management has been
initialized properly, which is tested via the early_boot_irqs_disabled
flag.
Fixes: 9f40ec84a797 ("xen/swiotlb: add alignment check for dma buffers")

Note that the "Fixes:" tag is not really correct, as that patch didn't
introduce the problem, but rather made it visible. OTOH it is the best
indicator we have to identify kernel versions this patch should be
backported to.
