Guest/host administartor could allocate for given guest no more memory than
maxmem (its value could be changed by xl mem-max <domain> <new_size>) allows,
regardless of mechanism (ballooning or memory hotplug) used for that allocation.
It means that memory hotplug does not pose any security threat in that area.

Sorry for bumping thread. Does this mean, that if i use memory=512, maxmem=4096 grows via balloon to 4096, after that set maxmem to 8192 and grows guest to 7000mb and do live migration - nothing bad happening and guest migrate process successed?
