No, there is not a size limit.  However, some earlier versions did
have some issues which caused some problems on large images.  Those
have since been fixed.

You might try the latest version of the kernel module and tools that
are in the development tree:

Note that you *must* rebuild the kernel module and both cowd and
dscow_plugin if you move to the newer version.  This should be easy to
do outside of your xen tree:

  # cd dm-userspace/module
  # cp dm-userspace.h /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux
  # make
  # insmod ./dm-user.ko
  # cd../tools/cowd
  # ./autogen && ./configure --enable-internal-dmu
  # make && make install

We have a tree on xenbits now.  Eventually, we will push an updated
version of the Xen tree with the latest patches integrated directly.
