Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] xen: enable BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG by default

Without it a PVH dom0 is mostly useless, as it would balloon down huge
amounts of RAM in order get physical address space to map foreign
memory and grants, ultimately leading to an out of memory situation.

Such option is also needed for HVM or PVH driver domains, since they
also require mapping grants into physical memory regions.

          Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory

Another variant would be to set: default XEN_BACKEND

This would match the reasoning for switching it on.

Either way would be fine with me, so you can add
