I'd like to avoid that route if we can. I don't like adding things to the UI
that are only relevant for an extreme edge case.

Maybe we can disable the keep alive timeout if conn=xen and there's a VM with
memory over a certain amount? You'd probably want to implement it by having
vmmConnection hook into it's own vm-added signal, so it only checks each VM once
