Hey Jeremy,

I don't believe that that's an issue anymore. The XEN kernel comes
configured with PAE as a default option, and I've seen elsewhere that
there is no technical problems running ZFS in a PAE environment. (The
PAE docs are out of date when they say we can't use kernel modules,
and any 64 bit aware kernel model should run with PAE with no
difficulties).
