I expect that too!
I have exactly the same problem. The difference is that I'm on Debian 4.0. So 
this may not be a Fedora-specific problem at all.

If I boot the standard Debian 2.6.18-4-amd64 then I have 2061340k total 
using "top".
If I boot Xen kernel 2.6.18-4-xen-amd64 the I only get 1793024k total.

Something's eating memory.
I'm going to file a report at Debian too. Just thought I drop the note here as 
well.

HTH,
Mikael
