Hi,
while checking the code I found out that when we restore guest on ia64 machine, 
we reserve up to maxmem pages and than free unused pages. As I'm not familiar 
with ia64 platform, I'd like to ask what's the reason for such a behavior? This 
prevent restoring guest on machine where is not enough memory available to 
alocate maxmem but there's enough memory for alocating memory.

Thanks for answer,
Mirek
