You asked for 784 MB of ram for the guest, but it was only able to free
up 773804 KiB from Dom0. Either reduce the amount of RAM you give to
the guest, or make more free memory in Dom0.
I should also mention that the HV will always require a few MB more than
you actually request, to maintain the shadow pagetables & other bookeeping
data structs.
