    From
    Peter, is your enter key broken?  You seem to be typing all your text in
    a single unreadable paragraph.

    You're saying that firmware basically has two choices:
    1. Accept all the memory up front and boot slowly, but reliably
    2. Use thus "unaccepted memory" mechanism, boot fast, but risk that the
    VM loses a bunch of memory.

    If the guest can't even boot because of a lack of memory, then the
    pre-accepted chunk is probably too small in the first place.

    If the customer screws up, they lose a bunch of the RAM they paid for.
    That seems like a rather self-correcting problem to me.
