QEMU introduced command line "-mem-merge=on|off" (defaults to on) to
enable/disable the memory merge (KSM) at guest startup. This exposes
it by new XML:
   <memoryBacking>
     <nosharepages/>
   </memoryBacking>

The XML tag is same with what we used internally for old RHEL.
I checked the .srpm for RHEL 6.4, and concur that your patches will
match (ie. we're being nice to anyone trying to rebase to a newer
version of libvirt in RHEL while still maintaining XML compatibility -
although RHEL will still have to do some downstream-only patching to tie
the new option to the RHEL-only -redhat-disable-KSM alternative command
line)

Your design also matches what we did for <hugepages/>.  If we didn't
have back-compat to worry about, I would have suggested <memoryBacking
sharepages='no'/>, but it's too late to bikeshed now :)

Yes, it was my fault, though the qemu enables it by default, so
it's not that bad, anyway, it's too late to change, :/

Now that there are two elements, you need an <interleave> surrounding
them.  Otherwise, my attempt to write
<memoryBacking><nosharepages/><hugepages/></memoryBacking> will fail
validation.

ACK with the fixed rng schema.

Pushed with <interleave> added, together with 1/2 ( I think two ACKs
in turn are enough, :)). Thanks.
