Hah! Was already replying when your cc came in (thanks anyway!).

Not quite an alternative to virtio-mem, more like a (in some factors)
optimized alternative to DIMM-based memory hotplug + virtio-balloon.

The core design of virtio-mem avoids basic issues related to memory
ballooning. (it was the result of analyzing existing technologies and
their shortcomings - including HV dynamic memory).
