Thanks. My concern is that if several VMs are mapped to same memory, one VM may get something from the memory which has ever been used by another VM. This may cause some secure problems. 



Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that a DomU kernel (If the flag is set correctly during compile time) will scrub (i.e. "zero") RAM first before releasing it to the Xen Hypervisor. Then hypervisor will then subsequently assign that bit of RAM to another domain.
