So I've tried building xen 4.4.1-3 with this patch (attached), and I 
replaced the binary packages libxen-4.4 and xen-utils-4.4 with the new ones.
The situation is the same: the xl process for jessie amd64 guests starts 
off at a resident size of 15mb as opposed to ~500kb for wheezy i386 
guests. At guest reboot it jumps to 17mb and then, after a few seconds, 
to ~34mb.
I also rebooted the host to help make sure the test is valid.

Thanks,

Gedalya
