Care to pitch the use case to me?

I'm all for making virtio-mem better suitable for some workloads, but my time is
limited.

Is this something that your use case would actually benefit from, or was that
project already discarded?

Why so much MOVABLE memory, and how do other kernel allocations (page tables
etc) cope with that?
