That's right. Xen/ia64 does so now for paravirtualized domain 
except dom0.
There is an unsolved issue. If much memory (e.g. >4GB) is given
to a driver domain, the domain can't access I/O.
At least the I/O area must be avoided somehow,
thus paravirtualized domain's memory map may become sparse
(in the future when the issue is solved).

Do you have any usage in mind?
