Thanks Patric. I am interested in testing these features and I was looking for 
some documentation to get me started here. Is there a known list of 
problems/shortcomings in the code as it stands today. Is this feature only for 
HVM guests? In your tests, what levels of memory over-commitment were you able 
to achieve.
