it works at the kernel, and I think it isn't limited to kvm. However, I'm not 
an expert with it, and it may be confirmed by someone else.
It anyone has a F12 under its hand with KSM enabled, look at 
/proc/kernel/vm/ksm/page_shared (or something like this), if it is non-zero, 
and you don't have any KVM running, it means that it works...
