No point at all...

One idea is to add additional block device, even file based[*],
optionally encrypt it with ephemeral key and mount in that DispVM. Not
very convenient, but effective.

[*] In dom0:
truncate -s 10G /var/tmp/some-file.img
qvm-block --attach-file dispN dom0:/var/tmp/some-file.img
rm /var/tmp/some-file.img

The actual space will be automatically released as soon as you shutdown
the DispVM.
