Allows a guest to add or remove memory after boot-time.
This is typically done by a guest kernel agent known as a "balloon driver".
### Populate-on-demand memory
Status, x86 HVM: Supported
This is a mechanism that allows normal operating systems with only a balloon driver
to boot with memory < maxmem.
### Memory Sharing
Status, x86 HVM: Expermental
Allow sharing of identical pages between guests
### Memory Paging
Status, x86 HVM: Experimenal
Allow pages belonging to guests to be paged to disk
### Transcendent Memory
Status: Experimental
Transcendent Memory (tmem) allows the creation of hypervisor memory pools
which guests can use to store memory
rather than caching in its own memory or swapping to disk.
Having these in the hypervisor
can allow more efficient aggregate use of memory across VMs.
### Alternative p2m
Status, x86 HVM: Tech Preview
Status, ARM: Tech Preview
Allows external monitoring of hypervisor memory
by maintaining multiple physical to machine (p2m) memory mappings.
## Resource Management
### CPU Pools
