Missing memory with PVH domu's?



	hello.   I recently began using PVH domu's with my xen installations.  I took working PV
domu's, replaced the kernel with PVH capable kernels, changed the type in the domu config file
and set things going.  All seemed to work well, except I notice a discrepancy between the
amount of memory I configured in the config file and the amount of memory the domu sees.

For example:

Given the below config file, I think I should see 8GB of memory in the domu this controls.
When it was configured as a PV domu, I did.  
Now, I get 4GB:

This is with xen-4.16.0 with FreeBSD-13.1 running as the dom0.
Any thoughts?
