Does XEN fully support KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging)? if yes then whats the use 
of tmem?I understand the fact that KSM may provide overcommitment to the Guest 
OSs but at the cost of CPU utilization for finding and merging same pages,but 
KSM can also be disabled.
 
And why tmem supports only PV and not HVM ?If complete overcommitment is not 
good according to tmem concept then why page sharing is allowed in HVM? Whether 
overcommitment is not provided to HVM Guest?
